Picked up a 1910 US Army hand axe at a flea market today that is marked US Plumb 1942. Came in a head cover marked Creators Industries 1945.

Would I be correct to assume that these were issued to US Army medics while the corpsman's knives were issued to Marine Corps medics and that they served the same purpose of cutting wood for splints and things?
