Wierd, every Yugo one I have seen had a sight base.

I guess one with sight bases are reused WW2 German and ones with out are "new" built Yugos?

That's what I'm thinking as well but, my Lafette from Sarco has a sight base but I haven't found any German markings on it. They probably scrubbed them all.
