WWI vs. WWII grenade discharger cups...????

[RegPitt]

Is there any visible difference between Enfield grenade cups from the WWI and II eras?
Assuming neither is dated. What should I look for in a WWII cup design? I'd like a WWII era cup for my 42 wire wrapped Ishapore.

If you have a No 4 Rifle then the Burns cup will be slightly different, its design isnt the same as for an SMLE. However, the SMLE or the No 1 Mk 111* as it was eventually called was produced by many makers well into WW2 and the original type of cup discharger was used. I only have a piccy of the original type.

If you are gonna put it on an Ishy, then you should look for one marked RFI, a nice match to the rifle.
