Matching #2's on my bolt and carrier of the tula no date refurb.
checked the 53' izzy refurb as well and it does not have the side stamped numbers present.
And I forgot to put my picture  :-[


Same size, font, and even angle. I tend to agree with the idea of it being something done at certain places, perhaps refurb sites, to keep the bolt and carrier together.
But interesting nonetheless.

'50 refurb shows only a "5" on carrier and I don't see anything else that matches as far as a number or what maybe a number










'51 Refurb has "1" on both carrier and bolt...






'51 Queen has "1" on both but they are not stamped well but I'm confident there are parts of a "1" on both carrier and bolt

Handful of stamps on my 1950, type1 bolt and carrier, but No number stamps.




No ep on the inside of the extractor claw either

Until I read this post, I did not think anything of these numbers. But when I bought my early 50 with spike (ИМ 3) in Feb. and noticed it's number, I grew more curious. It looks like a Q. Until I can post some pictures from mine, here are some pictures from a 49 to a 51 from another collector.

I took some pictures of my early 50. I do not have macro lens but got some pictures anyway.
