Interesting point about the pic top of the last set. Two UKand one US troop...the young man with his hands on the muzzle has no piling swivel and the protective wood on each side of the rear sight are gone. I always thought that happened after the war when they were sporterized . Apparently that wood wasn't as important as originally intended. We had a posting a while back showing some of these things being authorized and this is the picture proof...neat.
