Will have to dig through my photo files.

Regardless, much more common to use standard hobnails.

Very true.

The 2 out of 3 in my collection are period hobnailed.
To my understanding this was done on an individual level and was not an official thing.
I'd go (as I did) with standard hobnails, as Tom said but GJ hobnails are also seen in some period photos
