Is this No.5 bayonet legit!

Maybe I'm stupid or something but the UK MoD parts list for the No5 rifle just lists BAYONET No5 Mk1 with the B1/CR xxxx part number.......... I look at the L2A3 parts list and there it is again, exactly the same............ Ah....., I see now.......... Is this a commercial thing invented by the dealers, similar to that of a bayonet for the Lanchester differing somehow from the bayonet for the No1 rifle?

Peter, Probably right there......a little bit of knowledge by dealers, that then gets transcribed into historical fact over time, as used by the SAS........that'll do it

I was taking it by the date stamp, made specifically for the SMG?

I'm surprised that the dealers haven't called the No5 bayonets currently made in India SMG bayonets and advertised them for a highly inflated price.
