Either the regular dog collars or the metal ones put in the slot.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Are the M39 ones the same as M91, or are they different ?

M39 ones are totally different. The front one is part of the front barrel band, and the rear is connected under the rear of the stock.

My preference would be Finnish made dog collars if the stock had the regular Russian style slot cut outs. I'd use metal if the rifle already came with the metal sling hangers/swivels or if the rifle had the Finnish made escutcheons (those will only fit the metal hangers).

I've gotten all of those. I think they just used whatever.
