Does anyone have any references to the meaning of the Maltese Cross stamps in the wood of #4 sniper rifles?

the "Maltese Cross" indicates non-standard parts. You often see it on various parts made by Savage and fitted to Long Branch sniper rifles. ie: wood components and rear sights.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
