No, since versions made specifically for the civilian market without the cutout for the auto/safety sear and several other modifications are included ("variants"). They are banned for the same reason anything on the 12(5) and 12(4) list were banned, namely that they "looked scary" to some beaurocrat. The C/A (converted auto) ones, (ie: previously full auto models with the fun parts welded over), WERE legal, and treated as restricted, same as everything else until C-17/C-68.
I would happily pay a thousand, or even more for a 12(5) Belgian or Brazilian "metric" gun, but most of them are 12(3), and 12(5) ones are rare enough that I always seem to have been sold just before I come accross the EE post!

That german FN-Fal was listed as 12/5, not 12/3
I have seen the same rifle listed different in different parts
of the country, depending on the chief Prov. firearm officer of
the day.
I also know of a Can. C2 12/5 _ Don't ask.

Imbel is the name of the company/state arms factory that made metric pattern FNs under license in Brasil for the Brazillian armed forces and some for export to other South American countries.
They stopped making them in 7.62, but still make a version of the para model converted to 5.56. Externally, looks identical, like someone took a para model and stuffed an AR mag into it. Designed to give them a 5.56 rifle with minimal work. Prototypes were made with both the regular FN tilting bolt and one with an AR style multi-lug rotating bolt, don't know which one is used on the production rifles. Current issue to the Brazillian Army and Police.
They also made an ATF approved for US import semi auto FN FAL. Springfield Armoury was the importer. I think some of them made it into Canada pre C-68. Good quality and made with the type 3 (flat sided) receivers.
