Clearly not a MKV. Obviously one of those “interim” issue kukri you mention, or perhaps a private purchase piece? Victoria Cross winners are usually cut quite a lot of leeway, especially in publicity photographs. But certainly not a MKV.
(I have a better picture TulbahadurPun's kukri, which is clearly one of the interim kukri supplied to the Gurkhas, surely you are aware that the Gurkhas in Official Photo's have to be wearing and using 'Official' Issue kit? and also in the 1953 picture Tulbahadur Pun is not wear the Lieutenant shoulder patch!)

Chan Bahadur Gurung isn’t holding a MKV either, and that image dates from 1962. (Image Credit Getty Images)
(correct! he is using one of the interim kukri I was talking about, 1962 issue! A picture attached)

Lalbahadur Gurung appears to be holding a MKIII. (Image Credit: Taken from "The Gurkha" by James and Small, Published 1966)
(lol, a Mk3, seriously? Just a quick look and there is a bolster, and then look at the kaudi!, then just look at the shape of the blade!, this extremely poor observation of yours puts into question the accuracy of your observations and comments about kukri!)


And as for this:
I don’t think this esteemed forum is really the place to advertise your ailing kukri business, do you Simon? Most of these advertising/self promotional video’s are so filled with errors they really are laughable, not to mention misleading and unhelpful.

(Well you put the picture up of my companies kukri that we used to produce, I'm hardly doing the advertising!
I think you have a cheek saying my videos are full of inaccuracies, when on every point you have question me about something from Kotli Loharan kukri to Goparsing (on another thread here, which you kept strangely quiet about!) and everything in-between I have proved you to be wrong and totally inaccurate!)
