Yes it is true, but it was very short lived program before M14 EBR was put in place.

Knights made that rail style first, with Daniel Defense making a copy. The larue "clone" is simply a heavy copy of a very old rail. There are reasons why KAC moved on passed that attachment method. If you are looking for a rail which is a military clone, the DD M4 would be correct With a 20" barrel. The KAC would be correct with an 18" barrel as it was also used by the military. Otherwise, there are better rails available. Of course if you are just a fan of the look, it really doesn't matter.
ETA- If you are asking how close the LT rail is in terms of being similar to the DD rail which was actually used, it isn't close. It doesn't follow the same shape, and instead of being oval is roundish. The locking collar looks different for obvious reasons also (no one wants to be sued for an exact copy). Grant, from this board, commented at one time regarding how many production versions LT went through to get their rail problem free and into the final version. You would have to clarify with him, but I thought it was 13, however that was years ago so it may be more. He used to sell LT products and was with them as they started up, so he is a wealth of info on that topic.

If I was paying money for a functional stand-in I'd use either a Larue 15-12 or a Daniel Defense Omega 12.0.

A quick search found this
Probably. The guy I knew was an instructor who did AMU stuff and DMR school stuff like the basics of shooting a DMR rifle. He had also worked for the full sniper school during his last years and was at that time I knew him, a DOD instructor guy. He said it was a DD rail. At the time I did not know who DD was. Keep in mind, I was younger and not super knowledgeable and did not know free float anything was a thing. He explained it to me. But like not in full detail like a class. I had to look it up. I say DD Lite as that is/was my only concept of the rail. If the proper designation was DDM4 rail, I stand corrected. At that time the only FF AR stuff I knew of was the carbon fiber tubes.
