Now I am really confused because I have found another site that shows the same arsenal mark for a Romanian ROMANIA: 
ROMANIA (1957 - 1962)
I was once believed that
Romania did not manufacture the SKS carbine. If a rifle were discovered in the past with the
Romanian stamp, it was assumed the rifle was Chinese because the firing pin on the two rifles look
very similar. Mr. Poyer, co-author of
The SKS Carbine, writes in the recently published
Guns and Ammo Surplus Firearms #7 annual magazine about his surprise when he eventually did confirm Romania's involvement in SKS manufacture. Both he and his co-author were told by the Romainan embassy in Washington D.C. that NO SKS carbines were EVER manufactured in that country. Since these rifles are rather new on the U.S. SKS market, not much else is known about them at this time. The most interesting aspect of Romanian SKS's is the year it started production. One year after the Chinese began manufacturing SKS's, the Romanians started their production. Now I'm curious to know the start date of Yugoslavian production. Did the Russian technicians do a "road tour" of newly emerging communist countries starting SKS production plants to shore up the governments of these new allies?
Now I am back to square one.
