Mystic, doesn't matter, it's the same thing.
This is off a personal picture I have while I was at an airshow, the left side reads...
THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN
CALIBER .45 M1
NO XXXXXX
The right side reads...
AUTO-ORDNANCE CORPORATION
BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT.U.S.A.
One of the differences you'll notice in most reproduction or dummy recievers for the Thompson M1A1 is that on the originals, BRIDGEPORT ends in a comma that is basically a straight line down, all the reproductions I've seen just have a period there.

Sorry if it was a reproduction, I did not know that. I just wanted to help you out with a quick pic I found Nemesis6.
No problem. Thanks anyway!
