Hi Pete, I do have photos that can show you the difference, but I am away from my photo archive for a few days.

Basically the difference is that the number indicates the total screws that pass through both the stock iron tangs and the wood portion of the stock. I can compare it to the way a buttstock is attached to a Winchester 94 lever action... if you are familiar with those.

I will try to remember to post you a couple of photos showing the difference when I get back to my office next week.

The military type LP-08 stock is normally two screws.

I speculate that the commercial type is only one screw through the ends of the stock iron tangs.
