This is what they looked like and those that have Lend Lease rifles also have these bolts from this period.

I have a Dec. 1941 M1 rifle that I've been slowly "restoring" for a few months now. I needed a -2 bolt with an RE4A heat lot and finally found.....it was NOS still in the foil, but had been partially opened to check the heat lot......go figure!! Not too long ago, Bubba hooked me up with a nice RE4A that actually matches my receiver very closely. LOVE NOS parts!!!Welcome to the Addiction! -
Good timing, last night I was thinking I had an earlier bolt for the 1941 Springfield I was working on and found it on another Garand... it's a -2SA J9A. Got lucky, seems ideal for this 8/41 rifle.
I'm thinking it's a re-park but still looks good in the receiver. Lucky find..
