i think we have arrived at the truth ...you bought that didnt you ? thinking a mkV and a no5 should both have a specific bayonet , its why you need to read and ask here first , the no 5 has a specific bayonet , it only fits that rifle due to the muzzel fitting , but the mkV was a trials rifle in the evolution from the no1 rifles to the no4 , at that point in time the pattern 1907 was still the standard , its the only correct bayonet , all others that you might think and might fit will be incorrect , 

that said - do as you please , we dont mislead nor misstate here , 

ill add the P03 might fit but it was for an earlier rifle ,  and the indian shortened might fit but they were for a different rifle far later , neither would be correct , 

you can certainly have a historically incorrect pairing and claim it to be whatever you want but those of us that know will know 

shamu - no one would consider that correct but you are right the 1800s bayonet will fit the 1920s rifle ,
