Navy Officer’s Field Cap

I picked this one up recently. I’ve been trying to make sense of the label inside with some success after referring to the posts here and Nick’s guide on WAF. But I still don’t understand a few parts of it. First, photos:
1335841

1335842

1335843

1335844

Here’s what I’ve got so far.
入籍番号Entry Registry Number 舞一補三九三六 Maizuru 1st Reserve 3936 (overlooked on the label and added off to the side on inside of cap) 水 (水兵) sailor
Nick’s article mentions that officers should have a 5 digit number. As the owner was called up from reserve perhaps he started off in the enlisted ranks.
