K98 Bands

[rocky321]

I have a 1942 K98 BNZ. The bluing on the "H" band and lower band is zero, so I wanted to find replacements with bluing. It's not an all matching rifle anyway. Now I'm really confused. Didn't realize there were differences in bands. I have the "H" band and the lower band has the sling loop on the bottom. The stock does have the metal sling loop at the rear bottom of the stock, but also the cutout through the stock (why both?). The bands I have seen are both H and solid and the lower band has the sling loop on the left side. Why the differences and what years do they apply too???
