Markings on Pattern 1907 Bayonet

[Sensei]

Hello, i've had this P07 Bayo for about a year and i'm just wondering what these markings indicate. From my knowledge the "X" indicate that it's been bent tested. And i'm guessing the "1907" marking is the year of production. What does the other markings indicate?

Thanks in advance for your time

Thanks alot! If i understand these markings right this bayo was produced in Australia?

The MA stamp definitely makes it look like it was manufactured in Australia by Lithgow (the Australian Small Arms Factory, Lithgow)

I think the OA stands for Orange arsenal

Here’s a little bit more information

Above the OA Mark is the ‘Broad Arrow’ stamp (to mark government property)

On the MA stamped side, I’m not 100% sure but the date on the right looks like 42 (1942)

Took a better pic of the "42" stamp. It certainly does look like 42 to me!

"12" "42" means manufactured December 1942.
