I have a Standard Products carbine with serial # 20957XX, it has the early flip rear sight but the later front band with the bayonet lug. Could this be correct? The rear sight is marked IN-B, front band is KI. Has a Quality(Q-NL) trigger group and bolt is marked "O". Any info on this would be appreciated, O'by the way the stock is a high wood type marked IO(Inland).

  No, the bayonet lug indicates a replacement barrel band. But, it doesn't really matter, you have a mixed part gun, likely rebuilt. Stock markings might tell us more.

  Is there a stake mark on the receiver by the rear sight?

  Army guns were updated when improved parts came out.
  To find an early carbine having all original parts tells me it was not issued to a regular Army unit but was in deep storage somewhere, foreign army inventory or it was stolen early in the game.
