(Updates with new toll)

Nov 1 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier died on Tuesday in western Anbar province as result of injuries sustained from enemy action, the U.S. military said on Wednesday.

Earlier the U.S. military said that a U.S. Military Police service member died from small arms fire on Monday in east Baghdad.

At least 104 U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq in October, the biggest monthly total since January 2005 when 107 were killed.

Following are the latest figures for military deaths in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003:

U.S.-LED COALITION FORCES:

United States 2,817

Britain 120

Other nations 119

IRAQIS:

Military Between 4,900 and 6,375#

Civilians Between 44,978 and 49,938*

# = Think-tank estimates for military under Saddam Hussein killed during the 2003 war. No reliable official figures have been issued since new security forces were set up in late 2003.

* = From www.iraqbodycount.net, run by academics and peace activists, based on reports from at least two media sources. The IBC says on its Web site the figure underestimates the true number of casualties.
