Hi KEG.
It was converted from a No4 Mk1 action. The give away is the rear sight, the No4 had a peep/flip/ladder mounted over the rear of the receiver, the No1, aka SMLE, had an open sight part way down the barrel. Its a Mk 1 not a Mk2 or a Mk1* because of the bolt release lever (the Mk1* had a cut in the rail instead)and the sheet reinforce at the rear of the forend. The Mk2 had a cross-bolt instead.
