The bayo arrived, and it's a very nice Lithgow dated 9 '42.
The grip has "...TRALIA" stamped on it, but the AUS part would have been stamped on one of the grip rivets... odd they didn't watch where it was being stamped. Also has SLAZ 42 stamped on the grip wood.
Scabbard is decent, not marke MANGROVITE though. Blade is nice, overall looks nice and unmessed with.
Should go perfectly on my '42 Lithgow No1.
Oddly, I made arrangements for the bayo before I knew about the rifle...
