AK Barrel Markings Resource?

While I was digging through my kits, I came across a stray barrel. I originally thought it was Bulgarian now I think its Yugoslavian because of the 3 but it has some other distinctive markings that's making me unsure. My google search for barrel markings turned up very little. Anyone know of a good cross reference for barrel markings? Or can you tell me anything about the markings in the photos?

Perhaps each country subforum should have its own known barrel markings guide.

I had a rare moment where a 1972 original barrel Romanian Md63 kit and I were together. Y stamp photo didn't come out as nice.

I think that would be a good idea. I have a few barrels around here somewhere that were taken off kits several years back that I'd like to identify. The barrel in this post I sold to a smith for $30 since I couldn't find a use for it. I definitely don't want to make that mistake with a bulgy or something more valuable.
