Question on Firing Pins

[taharad 0]

I have a few firing pin like the top picture and few like the bottom picture. Can anyone shed some light on why there are two different types?

Not sure, but one may be for LMG. or could be a personal modification by someone hoping for a stronger primer hit. Looks like it is modified so as to stick out furthur to the rear of bolt. The drawings I have seen show only one type. Another question to resolve.

You seem to indicate that you have "more than one" of each firing pin type. How many and what was the source for each? That in and of itself may give a hint.
