I have an early one, I have to check the Numbers.

Has Half Moon cut outs on either side on Bolt Slot for removing the Bolt Handle.

From what I've read, I believe that the 'half moon' cuts in the bolt slot on early West Hurley '27A1s were intended to be used as "Bolt Holt Open" (BHO) notches (i.e., pull bolt back to cut location and pull up to latch bolt rearward, e.g., to remove a drum mag). And further, the notches apparently do not provide a very secure "Hold" so use as a BHO is generally not recommended.

 

I have no direct, personal experience. MHO, YMMV, etc. Be well.
