SMLE Markings

[bravo2zero]

Hi, would anyone be able to help out with some markings on my SMLE MK3* dated 1918. It has the Z on the barrel which I understood to be that it required repair which couldn’t be fixed at local level however there is a mark on the breech by the South African symbol that I can’t make out. The barrel is original and certainly doesn’t appear to be anything wrong with the rifle that would have required fixing. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Steve
