Hi Rex!
I took a comparison picture of the markings of the auction bayonet and mine.

I honestly don't see all this difference between the two.
Look for example at the letter "M" on "M9", the "L" on "LANCAY" and the "A" on "USA".
The example I have is one of the bayonets "rebuilt" in 2002.
The blade is also irregular on both pictures. Look, for example, at the right bottom corner.
