Rand,

It is not a dot but if you look closely 2 dots. In Sanskrit, 2 dots after a vowel/consonant denote the 'ah' sound. So, if I wanted to write 'Mah', I would write it as M:

It does not apply to numerals though. So my guess here is that it may have been used to denote a specific armoury or work batch.
