Sam,
The narrower mouth only happened on the 6" Hunter sheaths. The 7" Hunter sheath remained unchanged from WWII to post war.
The oversized rivets are only seen on the very earliest postwar field knives. I don't think they lasted more than about a month before they went away. That's why you always see a small stamp on the knives in these sheaths. My best guess would be an ordering mistake by Heiser and this inventory was quickly used up. At the same time, I've never seen an oversized rivet on a Fighter sheath! Try to figure that one out!
