M1 WW2 MSA liner Question

I believe yours is a laundry number. There are 85 possible matches for your number.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for digging this one up again, but I was goofing around and found this info on Wikipedia..

"During World War II, the Army also expanded the service number prefixes to include several new one letter designators in addition the original three prefixes (R, F, and O) which had been created after World War I. In all, the following prefixes were used during World War II.

A: Used by female members of the Women Army Corps
F: Used by field clerks during the First World War
K: Used by female reserve and specialist officers with service numbers 100 001 and higher
L: Used by enlisted members of the Women's Army Corps
N: Used by female nurse officers
O: Used by Regular Army officers
R: Used by Army enlisted personnel with service #s from 1 to 5 999 999 upon reenlistment"

Based on the last row for "R" (I didn't paste the letters after R), is it possible the R-476588 that started this thread could be for a re-enlisted soldier?

Thanks!
James
