Unusual No4 Pig Sticker Scabbard

[Flying10uk]

I have this No4 scabbard which seems unusual in that the frog button and ball end are polished steel. The body is a gloss black paint finish. It came with a standard issue Long Branch No4 MK2 bayonet. I personally removed the cosmoline from it and so I believe this polishing was done by a military organisation rather than a collector/re-enactor after disposal. Has any-one seen this before perhaps for use with ceremonial bayonets? Could it be of Canadian origin and perhaps they did the polishing. Thanks for any information.
