British Trooping of the Colour

I just watched a 2009 BBC production of the above.

Watching the Guardsmen on parade, I have two observations with relevant questions.

The bullpup MBRs that the Gdsm carried on parade looked like they had green furniture similar to the CAF. Is this a STANAG thing amongst all NATO forces?

Also, the bayonets looked very similar to ours. Similar blade profile with the oval slot purportedly for use as a wire cutting fitment device. Eichorn Solingen perhaps?

Anyone know for sure?
