They don't usually have them unless they are No.4Ts or someone has installed an after market one. In both of those cases they are for a two point shooting sling.

Unless you are referring to the wire loop in front of the magazine, in which case it is for tying on the canvas action cover.

Much obliged

If I'm not mistaken, they were not "formally" introduced on the (T) until after 1944.
