I think that the variances between the two photos are too great to attribute to photographic distortion alone. The grip on the ordnance photo is definately longer, at a more pronounced angle and more square at the heel of the butt. The grip safety on the Aberman photo is fully exposed and if the ordnance gun safety is only partially exposed (which I doubt), futher exposure would only serve to enhance the difference rather than reduce it. As much as I dislike doing so, I am afraid I must respecfully disagree with you on this one.
