Unknown markings on AKM-bayo..

Article about: Hi collegues. Got some interesting AKM bayo - interesting because of markings on crossguard (not because of barrel ring removed).. Has anybody seen such kind of markings in this type of AKM?

    I could throw in here that the blade design is a shameless rip off of the ingenious Eickhorn KCB-70 bayonet, that's where your sawback comes from. Eickhorn also held a patent for the wire cutter design that fits into the slot in the blade.
    Hello,
    But if I trust the following link, the rip off happened the other way around.

    The intent was to produce a multipurpose bayonet-knife, with a wire-cutter similar to the Soviet AKM bayonet. The KCB-70 blade is patterned after the Soviet AKM bayonet, featuring a clip-point with saw back and wire- cutter features.

    The AKM bayonet prototype (Navy version) was designed and produced in 1955-1956.
