There are a few errors in the otherwise interesting pix.
Designationwise, here goes.
50.61 533mm para, steel lower, standard cocking handle, flip type two position rear sight
50.62 Never heard of this designation being used.
50.63 458mm or 436 mm barrel, folding cocking handle, one position "Holland" rear sight, generally did not have carry handle or bolt hold open, although I believe there were some variations on these items depending on the purchasing countrys' requirements
50.64 as 50.61, but with "Hiduminium" ( aluminum alloy ) lower.
The Izzy pic shows a "late" and "later" variant, if you will. The earliest variants utilized T48 type HGs, wood PGs and carry handle, type A lowers and stocks. Izzy FALs were issued with ONE spacer, Many had the second spacer added later although it was, to my knowledge, never officially specified.
The Belgian 50.41 pic is actually a 50.42 as it has the wood stock.
Neither Chile nor Venezuela ever produced their own FALs. Venezuela was licensed to do so, but never did, IIRC.
Thank you for the breakdown. There is no 50.62, just two varieties of the 50.63.
