Quoted:
The PDF of the Crane test says M4A1, which presumably has the "SOCOM" barrel that is heavier under the HGs than the M16A2's govt profile barrel (though I couldn't find anything to confirm or refute that in the file).  I believe a regular M4 barrel is the same diameter as the M16A2 at the rupture point and would likely fail in about the same number or rounds.  


The M4A1 is full auto rather then burst.  The heavy barrel was developed after this testing, and is now commonly used on M4A1 Carbines.

If you look in the file, there are pictures of the barrels that were tested. The tested M4 barrel was a normal M4 profile and not the "Heavy" M4 profile currently in use.
