Differences between G&F and W&G 22a contracts?

[Nickb123]

I'm giving a Kelso M-422a another shot. This time, I'd like to know, what are the differences between the two contracts?
In particular, how do the backs compare? Are the belts in the same place? Are the dimensions of the action-back different?
I've seen this topic briefly covered before but I'm digging it up again.

Thanks to all,
Nick

From the originals I have 2 g&f m-422a and 2 w&g an6552s the W&G fit lager to stated size than the g&fs, they also have longer arms. I think the W&s's are cut slightly squarer down that back, where as the G&F's taper toward the lower back quite a bit.

There are a few photos if my BK in the old darker hide next to my originals, hope this helps
