And on the subject of non-standard Winchesters of WWII...

The famous English Commando Lord Lovat (Simon Fraser, 15th) was famous for carrying an "old Winchester" into battle at Dieppe and D-Day. Does anyone know what specific model it was?

Here is a picture of him with it, but it doesn't help much.
