Yes, Norinco had a very diverse range of markings. I've seen AKs that are marked Type 56, Type 56 sporter, 56S, Sporter 386, AKS Sporter, Type 56S, 762 Sporter. Then there are the Polytech versions. BTW, I agreed with the rule that we call the weapon by what it's supposed to be or obviously is. The Chinese AKs have so many different Import names that to call it the Type 56 is the only way.
