Yes, very intersting indeed! I have uploaded the images from the auction here so that we have them... Note that the bayonet sheath is a much later style in addition to the different blade markings. It is intersting as well that the blade propfile is the older "pre-product improved profile" as well.
Here is the description from the auction:

M9 Lan-Cay Bayonet in Mint condition. Rare forged Lan-Cay marked blade with a shallow blood groove. Gray blade has the old style step near the handle, old style saw teeth, and a flat grind cutting edge. This is a lighter blade. The olive green scabbard is marked Lan-Cay and has the sharpening stone on the back. The olive green handle is the straight earlier type. Absolutely beautiful set! Please study pictures carefully. Very few made like this. This is an original Lan-Cay manufactured bayonet.
