The first Rifle has been re-finished. All metal is re parked or re blued. As you can see the reciever has been parked and blued on the heel of reciever. The bullet guide , bolt lugs etc. have 'no' wear marks , the finish looks nice. The hand guard is birch I almost thought I had been sent a Greek by mistake.
The second Rifle looks like a rack grade. It's a got a '63 barrel and RAA on the stock. It looks like it has been used as a club of somesort, or a walking stick. The only reason , that I can see, for this to be a Service Grade , must be the "good" barrel.
