Another signal corps photo of the Bushmaster in Panama.Notice this one has no grasping grooves on the stock, and an early non curved bolt. We could speculate the "insurgent" just got tired of lugging his Garand around the jungle and surrendered with the promise of a cold beer at the PX.
Notice the smiling corporal at the right seems to have a straight grip BM over his shoulder since no muzzle is visible above his shoulder

Must have been made from a M1903 Remington which would have been the only source for a "S" stock with out grasping grooves in 1942.
