Early Belgian F.N FAL Type 'A' Bayonet (as used by British Forces)

A good condition early model Belgian FN Type A bayonet with its distinctive double pronged flash hider.
The 200mm double edged blade is in clean condition (slight snub to tip) with much of its short grey phosphate section still remaining, the flash hider in good order with no distortion to prongs, MRD 15.5mm, early type curved release catch with small hole, both the bayonet & scabbard are void of any markings, may be one of the early experimental models or simply for export ?
The black painted (2nd coat repaint) steel scabbard is in good order with no dings, usual signs of wear/scratches.
The wooden grip scales are also in clean condition with only minor dings on one edge.
