P14 markings

[mikemiller69gs]

All, I have two Lee Enfield WWII era rifles and recently acquired (free) a sporterized P14. I'm trying to decipher the markings. I believe it to be an Eddystone built ( ERA - 476880) but it has a variety of other markings/proofs. One that is a little confusing or concerning is the words "Nitro Proof" stamped but then it appears that its marked through (etched). I read that "Nitro Proof" was stamped prior to being sold to the public. The scraching out of those words has me concerned, was it cancelled? Any help on this or any of the other markings would be of great help. I'm trying to decide if it is worth bringing back to an original P14 stock.
