    Sling on the carbine is what Bruce M said, A Reproduction.

    Never in any era was it used by GI's.

    Real D tips slings came in to use Post WWII.

    IIRC, the picture you added of the 3 slings, the one in the middle with the TRW snap, I believe was very late Vietnam... but I'd need to double check on TRW hardware.

    IMO,
    A Fake Sling with a Fake Stamp...... Unique color though.
    Looks like someone used their Fake 'Boyt 43' Leather stamp dipped in ink.
