Arabic markings on a mosin 91/30?

Hi everyone. Happy owner of a beautiful 1934 Tula "sniper ranked" barreled mosin 91/30 (shoots well for his age, 10cm groups at 100m on irons) after intense search for months on the internet I desperately seek for an answer on strange markings at the backend of the receiver, under the bolt, specifically two, one that maybe Arabic (?) and a arrow head in a moon quarter. Thanks for the one that will have some informations on that.

Nothing special, just poorly stamped production proofmarks (angled stamped). All mathmatchinging rifle = refurb matched rifle

Replying to

Thx for the link, indeed at the very end of the page I can see a marking on a bolt head that seems to be it. Nothing exotic so, still shoot pretty well ahah. As for the serials they are all factory marking, except the one from the buttstock, post war refurbishment and light one I guess.

I can say, for the background, that it's a all matched rifle, except the stock that have Ukrainian refurbishment marks and izhevsk handguard ring bands (probably process of refurbishment), and Germans proofsmarks prior to 1971.
