Maybe a good spot to put up pictures of 2 odd Butt plates I ran across years ago and still have.

This 1st one came on a WRA type III stock with the Korean paint job on it.
This is also the Recoil plate that was on it. Shortly after I pulled more Korean returned GI stocks that had the same style Recoil plate on it. Another Recoil Plate had a square lug on top. Still looking for that picture-






Butt Plate Stamped Upside Down (?)



Found the Square Lug Recoil Plate:

Anyone ever see an upside-down AO on an IBM? Serial number 3845907.

I own and IBM AO with a SC B  Birch stock.  On my "Grand Entrance" Thread, New2Brass, ask if I had checked under my rifel buttplate and seen any markings as quoted here.  I explained that I had removed the buttplate during cleaning, however, did not pay any attention for markings there.  I checked and upon inspection I found the following:

Between the Top Hole and Middle hole there appears to be the number 5
Between the Middle Hole and the Bottom hole there appears to be the number 4
3 Pictures - Please see Link Below  

Haven't quite figured out how to downsize my photos to get under the size restriction, I posted them for viewing on Photo Bucket.  Please examine and let me what you think, and possibly what they may mean.  My conjecture would be the Stock MFG/Milling Line and Inspector Number.  However that is pure speculation with absolutely NO Proof.

Is that the assistant gunner style? Your assistant holds the mag in place as you shoot.

Makes me wonder how it survived, and why the insertion marks.
