Its possible but the 34 should be anywere on 41asw bayonet, what for assembly number is under grips? b.r.Andy
On early 1941 i would await a WaA883 but on late production is possible the proof of grips was deleted. 5358w, possible the 1A grips looks little strange.

Under the grips here on the tang of the bayonet. The WaA is under the flash guard, first pic in second set of pics you posted.

So when there is tang under grips 34 so the grips are matching to the piece, as the serial number is different. When no 34 on tang or flashguard so the grips are replacements.b.r.Andy
