It wasn't just the regular battalions etc that might have trialled these. The fellas here in the west definitely trialled and used them and had at least another stock design that was trialled.
It is definitely one of those grey areas and probably will never be definitively resolved but that makes it all the more interesting I think.
Thanks everyone, I know which way to go.
