So far my search for more information only seems to return my own posts. I keep forgetting to post it over at G503.  But in the mean time I've added some (vintage) tools that I've been able to discern from the photo or from the layout of the pouches on the removable panel;   Jeweler's screwdrivers, Jeweler's hammer, Watchmakers bench block. Needle files, and a US Army Lineman's handle for them.  A few other vintage calipers, pliers and pocket-stuffers are filling unidentified pouches/pockets for now   And I've had a reproduction data tag made up by Eric from Totoenjeep based on the original in the first post.  It's coming together, but I've still got a long way to go.  The leather pocket that contains a "Wrench Set" probably held a 1/4 ratchet/socket wrench set in a metal tin. But the dimensions are too small to fit the common sets from the General Maintenance Tool Kit. It is already getting put to it's original use though, here it is in use servicing an Eyemo "US Army Air Corps A-3 Bomb Spotting camera"      

USS Pinkney (APH-2)

These are from 1967 to 1969 The 1967 one was printed in Japan and is taller This is the bag the 1969 one came in

I swear, the mailman just delivered it to me! It’s an ex-H a r d y collection piece. 

It's made of black resin. I don't know the details.

The patent application for the M16 E-type stock was filed in June 1969, just after the fiscal year changed to 1970   https://patents.google.com/patent/US3618248A/en?oq=3%2c618%2c248   Quoted from the M16 Review Panel. It was considered in March 1968, but was not proposed to the RTA

Soooo you suspect the markings are fake? Interesting. I’d hate to think I was taken advantage of a couple decades ago for $200. I know little about swords & this was my first purchase. Thanks for your input.  S

Wow, 'small' is an under statement. Where on earth did you find that? Very cool addition, AG

old topic on reproduction Hawley liner that Rob Lihani made. Rob is still active on the forum as RobL. You have seen his work in the movie Fury as well for many props. I dont know if he still makes liners but possible he can give some info. I recall reading one make of the fiber liners was using a surgical tubing for the rim and surplus OD T-shirts for the covering. If a t-shirt isnt available, I would think a fabric shop would have some thin shirt like material that could be dyed with a clothing dye like RIT. May have to experiment with mixing dyes to achieve the color wanted.   https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/50431-rob-lihanis-reproduction-hawley-liner/#comment-384153

A google reverse image search shows it on several sites as Nepal police.
