Another 1911A1 WW2 era question: The arched mainspring housings with lanyard, where all verticle grooved, or were some a diamond pattern like grip checkering? I have seen both.

I think I found the answer. The 1911 technical manual shows diamond pattern, though now I am not sure where the ones I have seen with vertical grooves and lanyard loops come into the picture.
