At some time in its life it inherited a Fazakerley rear sight.
In either UK Civilian Ownership, or, US Civilian ownership the wood work was cut down & it was 'Sporterised'
Does the serial number on the back of the bolt handle match the serial number on the LH side of the body (action) / Butt socket ?
It would only show 'Enfield' if it was manufactured at RoF Enfield.
Basically - It is a 'Lee Enfield' designed rifle, Model No4 Mk1 built by BSA
You could de-bubbarise it & get it back into 'original trim' fairly easily if you wanted to.
