I know they are Belgian. I'm wondering about the larger mark in the middle of each of the bolts.

Thanks.

What is the story on this proof? Why not the normal Liege?

My Israeli light barrel has the same proof on the bolt.

Smokeless powder proof of military rifles until 1903, thereafter indicates nitro proof for all types of arms. 1898 – present
