It was my best guess. I'll gladly defer to those more learned. I was thinking it might refer to a Canadian Army item, no longer in use, but still in use in '68.

Thanks,

Well I stand corrected. I found an old scale of issue for the Cno7 rifle sitting on my desk. Right at the top: "Equipment issue scale 3023" . So it would seem that there was a 4 digit code for each EIS.
