M1 Garand rear sight question

I found the following list about Springfield early rear sight usage. Does anyone have the same type of information about Winchester early rear sight usage.
Thank you

Attachment 38794Springfield used the very small arrow and the small open arrow on the checkered elevation knob as shown in the first photo. Springfield also used the closed arrow too on the checkered elevation knob too.

Winchester used both the large and small open arrow on the checkered elevation knob (as ref in The Garand Stand Report No 50) second and third photo.

Winchester used the knurled or serrated elevation knob with the open arrow in the 1.2 million serial number range fourth photo at upper left

Scott Duff's WW2 book states that Winchester used the "flush nut" until around Jan 1943 than replaced with the type 2 lock bar and pinion
