"US Property" was the normal stamp on such equipment made in ( or for ) the US to issue as war aid - lend lease, basically.
The theory was that it could be issued to allies, but could not be sold on, or sold back, because it was marked as, well, US Property. As an example, Thompsons that were made for Britain and paid for by Britain were not so marked, but those that were made for, and paid for, by the US and then issued as war aid to Britain, were.
Your item could have been made in the US, unlikely, or made in the UK for the US as reverse lend lease, but marked as US Property so it could be loaned out again.
