this could've been the Australian service rifle but instead we got an Australian service rifle that's made in Austria which is quite confusing

The whole "heavy submachine gun" concept of the interwar period is hilarious.

Various prototypes from Czechoslovak early postwar AT weapons development.
>>63878682
Leader Dynamics T2. Simplified product-improved AR-18 designed in the Oz by a Brit with a French name to be sold in the USA. Made to avoid expensive manufacturing techniques as much as possible, using a triangular bolt head for easier machining and made mostly of folded sheetmetal spotwelded together. Used allen head screws before Kel-Tec made it cool.
Probably not the most durable rifle in the world but reportedly nicer than you would expect.

I like to think that this gun is what INSAS would have been like if Indians didn't fuck up.

While the current Browning Hi-Power is known for being a fairly unambitious follow up to the 1911, the original prototype that Browning was working on before his death was actually a much different handgun.
Shaped entirely differently, it appeared to borrow more from contemporary Savage pistol designs than the 1911.

On this Savage 19917 pistol, you can see significant visual similarities.
Most obviously that the striker is contained in its own 'plug' that is separate from the slide, as it does in the prototype Browning Hi-Power.
Given the shape of the prototype Hi-Power's front, it may have also used the same type of spring-around-barrel recoil mechanism, but I can't guarantee that.

If it does, it's different from the patent Browning filed.

Regarding the recoil spring?
I saw that, but seeing how the prototype appears to have a smaller end of the slide than that one, he might have dropped the below the barrel recoil spring.
But it might be an optical illusion from the angle the photo was taken.

It could also be Browning iterating on the design. One with concentric recoil spring and one with it under the barrel.
