So I have 2 No4 LB marked spikes but both have electro pencil markings as seen in the pics.

One is NZA and one is N^Z.

The N^Z is the usual marking seen on the rifles but I haven’t seen other spikes so marked. 

The NZA I have no idea on other then it is also a New Zealand marking that I just haven’t seen.

Probably rifle kit, those may be the serial numbers of the rifles they were issued with.
When I was company CQ, each soldier had his rifle and rack with a milk crate with his bayonet, mags and cleaning kit, the bayonets were serialized to his or hers rifle for accountability.
So ya, maybe rifle serials.
Cool kit none the less.
