Krag Front Sight Cover - Carbine ONLY?

[1903Collector]

Was the Krag Front Sight Cover only used on the Carbine?
Got one on my 1899 Krag Carbine Model 1896. Expensive, but it looks great!
Do I need one for my 1897 Krag model 1894 (...or is it an 1896!?!?), or did they only use the brass front sight protector between battles?
