Warrelics seems to block it everytime I post it so maybe it is a bad site.

US Pick Mattock cover, WW2-model, surplus - Varusteleka.com

I've shopped there a number of times, but that's off topic.

Interesting though, that there's no information anywhere about this version, not that I've found anyway.

The hook is post-war modification done by one of the European armies - Dutch, Belgian, Dannish, Norwegian?

I'm starting to believe it might actually be a Swedish modification, just got another one today where the seller claims it's Swedish army surplus.

Also found this in a digital museum showing various Swedish collections; https://digitaltmuseum.org/011023035948/falthacka
