Be careful, when i called and asked if they carried the MIJ version of the 31mm, they guaranteed me that it was, even directed me to the GSA section of their site, which does and still list it as MIJ ( though that was few months ago). Seeing the price was much lower than the competition, I went ahead and bought it. Just as my suspicion proved me correct, it was an "Assembled in vietnam" version ( B&H # PE3118FAB , does have a contract number). Sent it right back and lost the shipping fee. Apparently they haven't updated their information systems to reflect actual goods they have on the shelves...
the 43mm might still be MIJ, it really depends on how much of the "old stock" MIJ still left on the shelves. From what i know, the 31mm currently in stock now is all assembed in vietnam, and same goes for 77mm that they carry.
