I've seen pics of regimental marked disks on SurplusRifle Forum, but have no idea what regiments they belong to, or if there was a standard for the marks [letters/numbers/slashes]...I have one steel & one brass...
For my fake carbines, I fill the disk hole in with a wood plug, since part of it gets milled out anyway for the sling relief...
