Its the carved HJV on the side of the rifle. Today I also found out that this ammo pouch originally came from the Home Guard belt. The guy I talked to also said that it was only the Sirius patrol that used this on their rifles. It was to be able to reload faster if needed.
He also confirmed that only 40 rifles was shipped to the Sirius patrol - in total. It was a 1 time deal, that was it.
The rear sight was indeed cut down. The reason for this modification is that the original rear sight froze up in the arctic conditions. So they were completely removed in 1960.Information
