Looks like ”十" that was accidentally struck twice.

 

Should be 十九年 (1944), but for some reason it ended up as 十十九年.

Late war carelessness?

Sounds logical, thanks Steve.  What made me think the 9 was a 5 was the small horizontal line on the top of the kanji.  I just assumed the bottom horizontal was incompletely struck.  We have seen other late war inscriptions with questionable skill.  Your theory is probably spot on.
