That was one of the points the soldiers couldn't explain. They said they were given MkIIs, but said that the didn't mean someone wasn't gvien a MkI. Doesn't really explain a lot either way.

While the firing mechanism and inside barrel are the only bits that need to be clean, automatically, through habit (and just for pride really), they clean the outside and polish it up. But I' personally still expect to see scratches, knocks, etc. Those don't really polish out.
