Australian WWII SMLE M-1944 Machete Bayonet & Scabbard French Militaria Sumatra and Flores made slightly

Sumatra and Flores made slightly different style kris designs so today there is a large variety for the collectors to choose from

The muzzle booster was of an indigenous design

and hence this odd designation

with the 8th Air Force in England receiving an initial issue of B-10 Flight Jackets with the corresponding A-9 Trousers

The clock is nicely marked:
