A US 1917 was made by Canada with phosphate finish and black plastic grips for supply to troops in Vietnam, but any original 1917 would also work. Still looking for a Vietnam picture, but I have pictures of national guards with that bayonet pattern

Sorry about that delete,
The 1917 made in Canada with the plastic grips is the one I was thinking about, although it is not the org. 1917 used in WW-1 and WW-2 and Korea, I guess you could call it a modified 1917 bayonet made in Canada for use in Vietnam, and one on a WW-2 weapon would not be historically correct as most would think as a model 1917 bayonet. JMO.
Any way, old-smithy is right ;).
