They are British proof marks. Check this thread. You may very well have a Lend-Lease carbine.

There is an excellent article, written by Marty Black, on the subject of Brit proofs, in a Carbine Club Newsletter. P.S. Guys, someone is posting old posts and pics of mine on here. I'm not happy about it as they may be posted out of context ! Cheers, Mike. N.Z.
