Actually, the Chinese did produce a Type II bayonet with the hole in the blade for use as a wirecutter. They were produced for commercial sale by norinco and were included with SVD's that were imported to the U.S. I'm not sure how many were made, but they are relatively rare. I don't have one in my collection yet anyway.
Also, the Polish Type II bayonets have only one grip screw in the handle. So do the Chinese Type II bayonets I mentioned before.
Iraqi bayonets have the two grip screws in the handle as seen in the picture provided in the first post. Plus, the serial number configuration seen in the photos are only used on Iraqi and Yugo bayonets. The Yugo's are black of course, the orange ones are Iraqi.
