Boxed RLB, then unboxed RLB then spread RLB (last two may be reversed). Maybe Frank Beard will step in here.
I believe JB said that the boxed and unboxed RLB were close but I know the "spread" RLB (R L B) came last.
The order of appearance was:
(1) Boxed RLB
(2) Unboxed spread R L B
(3) Unboxed RLB
Overlap exists.

John, my apologies !
Interesting ...in my (admitted unscientific) observation of mid-ranged Remington M1903s, I usually see "spread" RLB stamps on later rifles than the other two.
What are the respective serial ranges or expected dates?
SN 3169935, 8/42 barrel.
I'd say a "spread" RLB.
