"...production on the 1903A3 began in 1943..." Started in 1942 with some in 1941. Like Steve says, your's is a December of '42.
Rummage around here. Clicking on 'Manufacture Dates' can make your head explode though. Lotta work put in there.

"...a field replacement..." More likely to have been done at some time since 1942. Any rebuild marks on it?
