Hi Mike,
Lan-Cay did submit bayonets to the USMC for testing and evaluation. They were marked on the right ricasso with the Eagle, Globe & Anchor. The USMC emblem is stamped into the blade prior to heat treating, it is not engraved. The left ricasso is marked USMC over Lan-Cay. They were not marked M9.
These bayonets were submitted in black and tan. They were not submitted in OD. The bayonet is equipped with the later ergonomic grip and the scabbard has the MOLLE webbing on it.
Lan-Cay also made a fair number of bayonets with the M9 markings you describe on the left ricasso with a variety of emblems on the right ricasso. You blade sounds more like one of these to me. You can see the different variations of emblems at Lan-Cay's website.
