Very nice example Andy, I can confirm that Argentinian manufactured M1's do have distinctive weld marks on the underside of the rim, I have a few in my collection. It is quite common to have US front and rear seamed Shells matched up with Firestone liners, but I was not aware that the Argentinians used Mitchell covers,so that is very interesting information.
Congrats on adding this fine example to your collection.
