RCS/Jim, thank you for the help. He would like to know if there is a way that he can know where parts in a trigger group would be correct for his rifle. The serial number of his Winchester produced Garand is 1371956
Looking at USRifleCAL30M1 I came up with these;

It looks like a good basic guide for Winchester restorations. My Winchester rifles are all from 1941 except one 1942 which had the trigger photo
posted. Don't be too concerned about the punch marks as Springfield used them. There are eight or nine variations of the trigger guard markings
too.
I found a data sheet from Scott Duff's WW2 book on Winchester serial number 1,347393
