My M1030M1 has a rifle rack across the handlebars. It has rubber Y-shaped holders with a rubber strap across each one. It also came with three RFID units, one on each side and one larger one on the handlebars. I've never seen another M1030M1 with a rifle rack. Mine was definitely USMC use.
I have an M1030M1 with the key epoxied in. I bought a new OEM switch like you, but once I found out what is involved in replacing the switch, I stuck with the epoxied key switch and went to a chain and padlock for security. You really do good work. I am very impressed!
You called the small bag on the front fender a goggle bag. Did this bag on an M1030B1 contain goggles? I have an M1030M1 diesel and this bag contains tire changing tools and patching materials, along with a small compressed air cylinder for tire inflation.
