Some of the older non-ribbed carbine stocks that I've seen recently don't have the " 1 N " marks.  They seem to be identical to 1 N stocks in all other ways, like the buttplate checkering, the shape of the top sling loop where it meets the stock body, and the look and feel of the plastic.  

Did Colt ship some without the 1 N, or did someone replace the stocks on these older Colt police surplus Gov't Carbines that I am looking at?

Yes, from what I've read in previous discussions. I think you'll notice the similarities (or differences) when doing a detailed comparison. There's some good info in this thread from the archives, including mention which I've seen elsewhere that these may have been used on Colt 9mm carbines.

Yes, I’ve one from an original  Colt Govt Carbine (green label) circa 1990.
I began to understand that the body is actually a cage for the soul, rather than a liberator....a vehicle of expression for our souls to interact with the physical dimension, little more.

I have a Government Carbine I bought new and has been in my possession since 1991/1992 and it has a not N1 marked Fiberlite stock.
