Does that 32 rd. drum look odd? Almost like there is something wrapped around it?

On the Thompson, they found out pretty quick that the slender rod that hods the foregrip is not very strong.
The horizontal grip of the A1 used a band clamped around the barrel and forearm; you are correct that the pistol grip usually had the swivel inletted into the wood of the grip.
This picture looks like the latter to me.
