We're going to need many more pics to be of definite help but it looks like it may be a Pakistani rifle... The No4 mk1s were of as far better fit and finish and the parts I can see are all mixed up with later ones. Ever the marking it's self is poor. The originals were much better quality.

Well, Fazakerly rifles aren't known for the quality of the markings! But more pics would be helpful as browningautorifle says.

Maybe I am missing something, but looks like typical Fazakerley markings to me. I see the "ROF", a partial serial number (T2?36?A), and a "2" above the "6" which would be the 2 in 42. Everything I see is telling me it is a 1942 ROF-Fazakerley.
Here are a couple of pics of my 1942 ROF-F for comparison:

I thought that Faz rifles were electro pencilled on the receiver.

Its an early Faz.
I think the guy who numbered the rifles at Faz must have later been transferred to Maltby....

As tlvaughn already stated, it was made in 1942. Restoration is complicated a little bit by the extra scope mount holes drilled into the top of the receiver and I'm assuming into the charger bridge as well. These would need to be filled in. It would be nice if the bolt serial number matched the rifle but you can check it's fit and function referencing Peter Laidler's technical articles.
