steyr 95 or 95/34

hello all,
I know I've seen the difference between the two somewhere but can't find it.
I ask because I was after a 95/34 since as I understood it they have a bayonet lug, upgraded sling and a different sight style.

however century claimed that they were out of 95/34s so I ordered a 95 carbine and called it good. however the gun that arrived has a plug in the bottom of the butt stock where a sling swivel used to be and now has a swivel on the left side of the stock just aft of the receiver. it also has a bayonet lug intact. the sights graduate to 2000 meters.

is this a 95 or 95/34?

Here a nice reference page to look up the differences. My understanding is the the M.95 is a purpose built carbine and the 95/34 is a stutzen rifle. The 95/34 is a cut down long rifle.
