Enfield No4(T) "Trials Rifle" scope brackets

[jmoore]

Are there any peculiarities or markings that are known to be unique to the Enfield conversions or did they just use what became the production bracket?
Enfield seemed to put their mark on every other part they fitted, so why not this one?

A S/N on the bracket seems to me to be no reliable proof that it was mated to the rifle at the beginning, since those numbers were apparently added quite a few years later. I'm not even altogether sure that the scope number on the wrist was something that was applied from day one... but it seems to be a feature quickly adopted and for good reason.

Just trying to nail down a bit more info on the early rifles...

An example w/ the 4BA cheese headed cradle screws would be grand to see, but could have this feature been changed / upgraded later on whilst still in service?
