P14 Royal Marines Issue??

[Buccaneer]

Attachment 102002Attachment 102001The butt disc on this rifle would indicate a date of October 1917 with a possible rack number 995. The previous owner seemed to think that the R.M. L.I. on the disc stood for
"Royal Marines Light Infantry" but I can't find any reference to this in all the reference books I have checked including the "Broad Arrow".
The rifle is very well marked, it is an ERA "Fat Boy" with matching numbers to the barrel which is 1917 dated, & the action. However the woodwork carries the number R6286 which is repeated on the bolt along with the rifle serial number 362625.
Both the barrel and action carry the mark "Not English Make" which I have not seen on a military rifle before, I understand it was probably applied when the rifle was first proofed.
A very pleasant surprise was when I discovered that it still had its original serial numbered oil bottle in the butt along with the pull through.
The R6286 number is a bit of a puzzle as it seems to be wrong for a serial number and no attempt has been made to obscure it from the bolt handle any ideas???
