I think it is quite obviously an inspection stamp, just as one would find on swords and bayonets of the period, as I have already noted:
"They are known amongst collectors as the Enfield kukri, due to the Enfield inspection marks found at the ricasso"

You are of course, perfectly entitled to your own opinion. I, and quite a few others, respectfully disagree.

I think troop movements, and the manufacture and supply of kukri are two very separate things, and it would be a mistake to confuse the two.
Kind regards,
