I believe the Mark 2 stamped on the safety simply indicates that the safety is a shorter one designed to clear the bottom of the ocular bell of a scope.

Wait a minute... is the front sight not there? Would it be safe to say it's not been there since the 40's? With arsenal rebuilds and such, I don't know how one would tell the correctness of the stock. However, if the front sight is gone, and a low safety- I really am curious if maybe you don't have an old sniper rifle?
