Congratulations on your LP08 complete rig.

I doubt that military regulations would have permitted or encouraged a soldier to write his name on his issued firearm.

There were unit markings placed on many firearms, and records kept at unit level associating issued firearms with the individual soldier responsible for the firearm.

I can't make out the detail of the markings you show from your photographs.

It is possible that the person that captured this rig wrote their own name on it, or that someone that later came into possession of it wrote their name on it.
