I do not believe 'unit markings' were used by Germany during WW11.

They do not look like German Unit markings to me, however I can only compare them with WW1 German Unit marks. If they are unit marks then they changed their system. I have many WW11 German rifles and a few WW1 and none of the WW11 rifles have unit marks.

The Germans did not unit mark their rifles durring the WW 2 period.
IF that is a unit mark, I have no idea from what country. 33/40s were used post war. You know where that 33/40 has been since WW 2?
I've never read anywhere that the Germans sold/gave rifles to Finland. I'd be interested in your source.

A considerable number of 33/40 Mausers were imported to Germany in recent years from Norway. These usually have a police stamp. I have never seen a 33/40 with a German unit mark.
