Reference photo for XM29 OICW world model texture discovered!!

[Bruner]

I was curious and I wanted to see if I could find the original photo that Valve used for the OICW.
The real life weapon is actually relatively obscure from what I can tell, so a lot of photos you can find of it online are just the same handful of photos. However, I have discovered what I believe to be the exact OICW used for the texture!
There's two photos I found. The first one being the gun cropped out, and a second image of the original photo with the background. I haven't seen this documented anywhere yet!
You can see in both images that the saturation makes the gun have that strange brown and purple color tint that the XM29 OICW world model has in the leak.

Overwiki has it

If I remember right, that's the 1998 prototype, one of many, that's only known from a few photos

Whoops. Never seen it there before. oh well, it's nice to bring more awareness to it regardless.
