Yes they are, and it is a great aid in these lengthy topic posts!
Based on what I am not seeing in the pictures in post #37,I do not believe that it is an integral front sight base. The contour of the barrel directly beside the sight block, and the lack of milling marks adjacent to the sight base is what leads me to that conclusion.

The sight base in post #37 looks like the barrel metal flows right up into the base, making it one piece. But it can be deceiving. I inspected my 1919 92 and it looks the same way under magnification. But from another angle, under different light, it looks like a separate piece attached. The skill of the person forming, or attaching, the sight base may vary, giving different appearances on different guns. I thought my friend’s gun, which I started this conversation with, was a separate piece because of how the barrel/base was finished. Turned out it was one piece.
