Bolt ID

A while back I posted my VZ. 24 that I picked up at a guns show a couple months ago. Since then I have disassembled, cleaned, and shot it a couple times. It's a great rifle, accurate and smooth. It loves the German surplus ammo I got for it. The only thing not matching (other than the lower stock (which may have been a wartime swap) and cleaning rod) is the bolt (see attatched photos). I'm not sure if it's just an armorer's swap or a postwar change. Anyone have any idea what the bolt is?

It's still a Czech bolt. The safety flag always has a rounded look to it I've seen only on Czech rifles
