No.5 Bayonet identification

   I was lucky enough to pick up another No. 5 bayonet and was wondering if the scabbard and bayonet are ww2 original. I believe the bayonet is marked with the Wilkinson wartime code (S294) but I can’t make out if the scabbard is marked or just dented. I have a matching S294 marked scabbard on my post war Poole marked bayonet so I’m considering swapping them but if the current scabbard is original WW2 I would keep them together.
Bonus pic of Wilkinson WW2, Poole 1946, RFI 1978, and a No.8 bayonet for the SLEM experimental rifle.

Thanks!
