There is a good thread about the M-30 Drillings on the WAF. The boxes are marked M-30 Drilling and include manuals and accessories. But the only connection to survival and carrying on aircraft are the comments of Adolf Galland reported in the 1979 article on the drillings by Joe Buffer.

The time frame of police usage for the machetes would not start until late 1941 or earlier 1942, judging from the documentation I have. Expansion of the police air arm accelerated in 1943.
