Diamond-D marked bayonet lugs?

We do know they were scrambling to get bayo bands out in to the field.

In MWO-5, the OD classified the work as a blue priority - that's second tier of importance. Completion date of Jan 1 '46 - that's a month after the scheduled launch of Operation Coronet.

The part was listed as available at the July 10 approval date of MWO-5, so it doesn't appear to be a huge priority. Still looking for a document from the field setting priorities within a command (for this or any MWO).

It could be argued that RCT 8 (2MARDIV) getting their Type 3 bands in July '45 was likely the result of priority setting as the division was perhaps the most combat ready unit in the Pacific - minimal involvement on Okinawa; miniscule casualties.
