I was going over one of the SMLE "component" drawings last night and it contains TWO piling swivel styles:

"Piling Swivel A" is the usual "offset" style, like a sling swivel with a bit removed.

"Piling Swivel B" is symmetrical and narrower.

Both carry the note: "Not for Mounted Troops"

Any clues?
