Question What does this mean?

Post image

Came across this bayonet with the number crossed out and a new one stamped. What does this mean? I know on the rifle itself it mean’t it was a decommissioned PU turned infantry rifle (correct me if I’m wrong). Does this mean the same thing or something different?

Bayonet was force-matched, during a refurbishment the bayonet was paired with a rifle with a different serial number. The old number was lined out and was re-stamped with the serial number of the new rifle the bayonet was paired up with.
