Even more importantly than a picture of the side view is the chance to measure the WIDTH of a good sample of guns. The slot from model to model and year to year might vary slightly. Fit on these blades is very critical unless one is willing to live with a solder in option or an easy fit which then requires staking of the barrel.
Another option for them is to serrate the sides of the key portion so there's a wide tolerance of slot width since the peaks of the serrations will deform to fit in a reasonable range of slot widths.
The trick is to get to where there's enough retention pressure so the blade won't come out in time vs too wide and not fitting at all.
