M47 is BSA but there looks to be more going on there i cannot make out that squiggle below the number , prefix AG is a 1943 Maltby serial number , so im saying its more likely that , 

the 4  7  must mean something else in this case

A Square,
 
To me it looks like a BSA, with the Maltby No as an afterthought.  I Think Maltby were still putting serial # on barrels then as well.
I wonder if that number below the electric pencil Maltby number is part of an old BSA number??
 
Any serial number on the barrel Trigger??

that could certainly be a possibility , definitely something looking like a stacked rifle stamped below the date as well , and do i not see A * C above on the receiver ?

BSA used what looks like a tee pee of rifles on their commercial rifles and colonial trade rifles , i think they put it on rifles that were sported too , but im no expert in this area - someone wiser than i will come along to enlighten , i just thought the marking i cannot see well looked like that , 

i see no reason a rifle manufactured by one could not have been rerworked by the other at some point in time ,
