Sorry Hugh, but that is not a "mum"; it is simply machining for a better grip to remove. All the T 38 and T 99 rifles and carbines have a similar pattern on their safety, for "grip" when turning.

The "Mum" is a very specific flower with a certain number of petals, which is only used for the Emperor of Japan- I believe the Emperor's mum has 18 petals, and the "regular" mum only 16. But I could be off on the petal count, the significance is that they are different and the pattern on the Baby safety is not a mum with petals.
