Here is information on the "Namibian" (South African) furniture: 
South Africa utilized the R2 (FMP G3). The original furniture was the FMP (green) plastic furniture (slimline forearm/A2 stock), which would shrink, secondary to the heat and UV exposure in South Africa, and fitment became an issue (i.e., the furniture--- the forearm more so than the stock--- began to “rattle”).
new wide forearm
- manufactured by Choate Machine & Tool Company
- new polymer formula
- extends to the rear to the front of the receiver at the magazine well (v. to the base of the barrel)
- left and right side- 7 vent holes 1 vent hole; underneath- 5 vent holes 1 vent hole
- bipod attachment point at the front and bipod cutouts
new stock
- manufactured by ? (presumably Choate Machine & Tool Company)
- based on the FAL- “hump” on top rear; rubber buttpad; sling swivel on bottom
- no 2 pin holes or sling attachment at the rear like the FMP G3
- heavy buffer
pistol grip/plastic charging handle
- same FMP (green) plastic
