Decluttering and utility alias.
The original Pattern 1914 came first in 1914, while the US adopted it in 1917 as the M1917. There are no glaring, noticeable visual distinctions of both models. Both rifles have rear aperture sights flanked by large metal ears, dog-leg shaped bent Mauser-style bolt handles, two stock forearm fastening bands, non-protruding internal magazines, and semi-straight buttstock shape. Indentations on the body of both rifles aren't always present.

The only difference is the P14 internal mag capacity is five .303 British rounds, while the M1917 contains six .30-06 Springfield rounds.
