I wandered back to this article and just noticed this. The title is not accurate and a related comment in the text does not go far enough and can be misunderstood to an incorrect meaning.

First, the title; "1947 Model 24/47 Rifle" The 24/47 was produced through several years. It only BEGAN production in '47.

Now, this comment; "... the facility which did the work was either Zavod or Pred 44 (written in Cyrillic)" While it might be read that way, they are not two separate facilities but one. From restoration to operation at war's end to Sept. 1947 the primary arms works at Kragujevac was designated ZAVOD 44 or, "3ABOД 44.
The reference to "PRED" is, in fact, a shortened version, an abbreviation if you will, of the full version PREDUZECE 44. But, the Cyrillic version ПРЕДУЗЕЂЕ 44 was used first then the Latin version.
That should clear that up.
