NM 1903 Springfield question

[Zoggy]

Hello, let me start by saying what an excellent site this is. My question is that I will be obtaining what I think is a NM 1903A1 soon but my only doubt is that while the bolt is polished it does not have 'NS' at the bolt handle root or an etched serial number on it. I recall seeing a '17' on the safety lug but no other markings. The barrel is stamped SA 8-36 and serial number is 1.4 million, I can't remember exactly. Could this be a replacement bolt as I am under the impression the bolts on NM rifles were numbered. Thanks
