Really? You can see the selector and see it's set to single. When on auto it's down lower and forward. The stock is thin from my perception so this could be an arsenal overhaul with all the changes made like type three sight and type three bayonet band. This was what all of them were supposed to look like but very many never did get changed. Many we saw released for sale here in the '70s had flat bolts, "I" cut stocks, flip sights and so on from the beginning. Just a neat pic...

The selector switch is the only clearly visible feature that distinguishes the M2 from the M1, and once you know that the identification is easy.
