Your rifle must have been refurbished in the UK before deactivation. NZ L1A1's did have the Maranyl furniture fitted although it was frequently 'mix and match' as parts were only replaced when they were damaged, but the NZ rifles did not have carry handles. These were all removed in the late '60's and a black rubber washer was used to fill the slot. It was found that using the carry handle did not keep the rifle in the required state of readiness when the men were tired after long patrols in Vietnam. Slings were often removed for the same reason, and also to prevent catching on the undergrowth.

Woodsy thanks for the update. It did indeed have a wooden butt that came with it when I got it so that could be the original one. I didn't know about the carrying handle though.
