Realized that I hadn't added anything about this one.
These rifles were sourced by South Africa in the late 80's/early 90's and were used by Special Forces occasionally. Quantity remains unknown, but is thought to have been several hundred. They are in the serial range of A1xxx to A12xx so possibly 200 or 250 rifles.

They may have been part of a shipment sourced to supply UNITA by the SA Govt, and then not used because of the caliber.
Further research is ongoing. They were not popular rifles.
