GB Auction bnz 42 - Engraved bolt?

Pics of the subject auction bolt:

Compare to an original:

Engraving pushes steel around. Die stamping, how numbers were factory applied (other than etching in few variants), compresses and displaces steel. The same dies were used, thus the numbers should not look all wonky and different.
 
MODEDIT: Itong, it's a fine line but auction posts are for identifiable fake rifles. Otherwise we get into a situation where auction bidders and sellers are posting things here to vet and advertise. The subject rifle has definite observable numbering issues which are pointed out in detail. That's the only exception for ongoing auctions. Thank you brother, HB

Yes it has this many numbers. A typical mid war rifle will have 15+ SN locations.

I agree engraved on this one. I like that the pics are just out of focus enough so when you zoom it it’s crap.
