M1C rifles were built using new Springfield receivers.
M1D rifles were built using used receivers. So, they can be Springfield, Winchester, IHC or even HRA receivers.

Strange world we live in. The current CMP
auction WRA-D with no accessories is over 4 grand,yet this mint CMP WRA-D got no bids at $3200 and it's complete. Go figure.

I have a friend, an older retired Col., who has a Lottery CMP
D that in a Winchester. He has kept in in the wrap as an investment. I should point out I've never seen the gun but I have no reason to doubt him.

I received a Winchester M1D from the CMP
in 1997. At that time someone wrote an article about the numbers. As I recall, about 10% of the M1D's released from the CMP at that time were Winchester. I think there were reports of only a few HRA's, IHC's and post war Springfields. The rest were all WWII Springfields.
Here is a picture.

For some reason, I have the idea that the M1Ds were made before IHC and HRA rifles were produced.
FWIW; AFAIK; IMHO; YMMV; yadda, yadda, yadda.
