Maybe this man.
You could contact the next of kin and verify the service number, then return it as a nice gesture if the number is a 'hit'.

Wow good find on that info. Thanks.

The tag dates before they changed the ID number to the social security number, and I don't know the date on that change. Also the tag is USNR,
(US Naval Reserve) and the above named fellow was a marine. My Navy number started 457 and this one is 433, so my swag is a different guy.
I joined in '55, so he was probably a Korean War vet that joined before my enlistment. My tag has a P for Protestant, I reckon the C stands for Catholic. O is blood type.

If the Carr I referenced isn't the same guy, you can always contact Navy Reserves and request their assistance:

Hey, boats- It's VERY possible the man was Corpsman. The USNR tag, with the info (IF same man) of being a "Marine Vet and member of the MCL, would indicate he was FMF. That's my background, as well, although I was regular Navy not USNR. I DID spend a good deal of time in a Marine Uniform, and am an accepted member in Marine organizations......... That would explain the anomolly.
