There has been a few articles published on the different Springfield WW2 checkering patterns, the first article with excellent photos was done by Tony Pucci in his old newsletter. If for example you compare the butt plate pattern of an original Lend Lease from late November 1941 to an original April 1944 rifle, you can spot the differences. Most difficult are the WW2 M1 carbine butt plates to identify as to who made them.
