Sooo, theory 128,228,238....bear with me.
With the bigger knob/cylinder on the scope mount I started going back and looking at something that had caught my eye previously. In looking at different sellers that make Han and Luke holsters, a few different references, some movie stills(but it's really hard to see it), it seems there is a trend that the Luke Holster HAS a bigger, more squared cut out on it vs the lazy "S" curve that Han's has. This would fit the larger spacer behind the mount as well as the cylinder sitting on top.
Maybe the Hoth blaster was made first along with Luke's holster. Perhaps it was intended to just be Luke's blaster, or the only one that was built for/brought to Norway. Since it was the only one brought, it gets used by Ford as well but since his holster hasn't really been modified much since ANH, and with the cold, it just doesn't stay on after a few scenes are shot/reshot. Heck, the part may very well still be out there somewhere lol.
