Unusual WWII photo

[painter777]

Nice picture,
I believe very early WRA and INLAND (early 42) had the Prototype and first issue Hand guards that had no cut for the Op Slide arm.
But I'd feel better about this answer after checking War Baby, but to late and no books here.

Sure seems odd to see such a early, very limited Hand Guard this late: 1945 ??
Carbine has the early BB and Flip sight, Maybe ? angle of picture not showing the notch ?
Carbines..... JEEEZZZEEE Drive a guy nuts !!
