It is a commercial that went into military, perhaps even police service. Not rare, just a variation and although a bit uncommon there are others like it.

I think it was a police that never received a sear or mag safety, many of them were purchased as commercial and then placed into service.

Looks like a Portuguese oiler, worth $100-$125 / sometimes more, but not a lot more...
