Looks like a standard G.I. M1926 Kess Kit spoon . . . but if it was US it would say "US" on the handle. No idea what other nations used.

No idea, but a guess would be a manufacturer lot number. I found another on the Internet with R3244 stamped on the back.

Wow!!!! What an awesome find!
I would love to dig some WWII relics...it is a dream of mine.
Oh, and it is a standard issue spoon for a WWII era US mess kit. I have no idea what the C7400 is though.
