FN FAL Bayonet Country ID?

[tankhunter]

I'm no bayonet fiend or expert by any stretch of the imagination but isn't this a UK FN bayonet with those prongs that were supposed to act as a primitive flash eliminator when the bayonet was fixed - as we had faffed around with during the EM2 trials/No7 type bayonets?

I know what you're going to say......... Surely, if you need a flash eliminator, you need it ALL of the time, not just when the bayonet is fixed. Yep......, but I'm just saying what I saw and what we had tucked away at Warminster.

As for the scabbards. I would imagine that FN just supplied what the man with the money asked for. If he wanted oval, he got oval. Round and he got round. Square and...............

Trials bayonets for the FN were the X8E1. So stamped along the spine. And also the Rifles serial number on each Bayonet. To match the rifle.
Scabbard Throat tops were also X8E2 Stamped. But NOT serial numbered. (Not enough room around the periphery of the throat area)
