As long as I am taking the time to post pics, here is one that is nice to look at.

It is all Winchester- every part.

From what they say the Winchester P-14 is the more accurate, but Winchester production prototypes failed a parts interchangability test.
 
This is a fine looking example.

I don't know about the P14 but the early Winchester 1917s were very accurate but not interchangeable and an authoritative order was given to not send even one more over was given. Winchester corrected the problem and became the higher quality of the three.

The Winchester manufacture P-14, fitted with a fine elevation adjustment rear sight was used to some extent as a sniper rifle before a proper scope mount for the P-14 was developed in 1918.The scoped P-14 was not developed in time to be used in any numbers before the Armistice, not sure whether or not any got to France before hostilities ceased.
The aperture sighted P-14 proved consistently more accurate than the Scoped SMLE MkIII (T) rifles.
