The date was located above the chamber. Only 1908 military 'first issues' were not dated (1908 or 1909) but they did not have a stock lug as yours does. The stock lug was introduced on PO8's in 1914. As Alanint (Doug) stated, there was a date on it which was removed.
'03' are the last two digits of the serial number. If the gun is all matching, '03' should be located on many various parts.
