Auto loader pistol 1949 ish?

I'm watching Netflix's series "Traitors" , it is set post war Britain and in one scene a guy is smuggling pistols.. but it is a very large block shaped slide autoloader I do not recognize.. anyone know what might have existed that looks like a "rough hewn" glock ? I don't think it is bad props, because it does not look like any gun from modern era..

The French had some clunky looking MAS pistols that could fit the bill but I haven't seen that series.

thanks, I googled MAS pistols, but none of the images i found look like it..
the scene was a dealer supplying Jewish fighters in Palestine.. it reall looked like a large brick, with a pistol grip ..

Webley?

never mind, I went and brought up the show on my computer where I could freeze it and go frame by frame and it is a props error, and a camera editing error which is why I thought it was a different gun. at the very beginning when he pulls it out of the box the camera is super close up and it looks like the back end of a 1911 and then the camera pulls away for a shot from another side and the slide comes into view and it looks like a Glock..
so their props department really screwed up that one.

Alas, IMFDB doesn't have a page for it yet but Beretta, Walther, FN, CZ, and others all had autoloaders back then.

Which episode?
