Help with Western Boulder, Colo.

Need help determining if this is a WW2 Western Boulder, Colo. Looks exactly like the knife on pg. 53 of Mr. Silvey’s book, “Pocket Knives of the U.S. Military.” My problem is that in the book it says, “no. 6490 campers knife as supplied to the US government in WW2,” but on the back side of mine is stamped what I think is 901. So is this the same knife?
I am also bothered by the description for it wasn’t completely accurate. The main blade is rather lazy.
If you look closely you can see the pin appears a slightly different color than the bolster, could this just be from polishing?
Thanks for any help,
John

I appreciate the help, but I read all of that and if the answer is there I missed it. Thanks for the help though.
