I have access to the real thing and that is the same colour, that said I can stain the blank wood parts what ever colour you want.

Fair enough, though I guess wartime production there would have been variations, the color is a pretty close match to a mates (see attached), but like you say I have seen some darker. All the other timber sets are bare at present so might go the darker Walnut option for them...Cheers

For this first one I just added the dummy rear sight cover and you can see through it to the original sights however, yes I was going to add a short rail as an option. In fact I just ordered some small pistol red dots from Aliexpress, if any good they would be a good, low option.
