Does anyone have images of the experimental R1 Paratroop Rifle?

Its just a stumpy FN FAL with a sight on top and has a 32 Round Mag and roumoured to have a rapid rate of fire, Faster than most FAL's

It was seen in the 1978 movie 'The Wild Geese' and used by the SAS member in the squad.

(...although technically not experimental as it was actually used by the SA 'Parabats'!)
