I seen this posted on Facebook. I've never seen these stamps before.  Any input on them?

Does the poster indicate where this carbine came from or who might have marked it? Not sure why an SKS ("CKC") would have "RPK" stamped on it in Cyrillic in Russia. dntknw1  Maybe there's no relation to the RPK firearm?

The cartouche is the old state emblem of the Soviet Union I believe:

Looks to have been stenciled and then etched out by hand after the fact by a previous owner. I've never seen that on any other Russian Model 45 SKS.
My Avatar is a pic of the real "Ghost" SKS in honor of xxxsks(joe). It is a pic of a fully decked out SKS in Capco hunter's kit. This was mine, the only other pic I had ever seen of one was Joe's.
