Just as nearly every German pistol brought back from WWII was always "teken off a dead Nasi offzer" nearly every Arisaka not made with the monopod, AA sight and dust cover is named a "last ditch" rifle, by someone....
Go back and take a look at it, Take note of the markings, Take pics, if you can, there are people here who can identify which arsenal made it, and most likely when.
