[ARC5] An interesting marking on ARA set sn 4839

[Leslie Smith]

www.eBay.com/itm/162585137412

or item #  162585137412

This item is an ARA receiver, sn 7839 - type 46104 or 1.5 to 3.0MHz
I'm not completely certain the sn is correctly stated.

David Stinson noted "the marking" on this set was interesting.

The photo of interest shows the name-plate and adjacent I see the stamp
SC - 4019 - A.

Can you say what these characters mean?
(My guess:  Signal Corps, inspector #4019 (or approval certificate 4019)
and "A" accepted)

Why is this stamping unusual?

I attach a photo of an interesting nameplate.
The contract for this set (74912) was let BEFORE Pearl Harbour.
The set/contract was ACCEPTED in Feb '42 - about 8 weeks AFTER the
Japanese attack on PH.
Another contract was issued in early Feb. - only days after this
contract was accepted.
