No difference. The clean out hole was added early on, about the same time the Mk III came out and before the Mk III*. Bayonets without are scarce.

| there is a bunch of the 'non-hole' ones that started life as 'hooked quillon' and had the hook cut off , these are no diferent but fun to have in your collection of blades - if your into them as much as the rifles |
