Argentine Hinge pin assembly

Do Argentine hinge pin assemblies have any unique features that would identify them as Argentine? How about the Pistol grips?

I have an FN that needs at least one visible Argentine part and one visible South African part so that she will have at least one visible part from each of the countries that produced licensed FNs.
Yes, I know that it is silly and that I should put more effort into finding suitable employment, but dog gone it, some things just have to be on hold so that frivolity may abound.

Other than a long butt stock, what South African parts have unique features or markings?
