ww2 Ishapore Enfield features?

I am looking at getting a 1943 Ishapore No.1 mkIII*. It seems to be all original, but it has a cross bolt through the stock. Does anyone know when they started doing that? Most I have heard about it is that they added those to rifles refurbished and reissued after the war. Any thoughts? Thanks,

Schwehn

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I've had a '43 and a '44 with the cross-bolt. The '44 definitely seems 100% all-original, as all numbers match and the original barrel is mint. 1943 would seem reasonable for the introduction of the bolt on new production rifles - they were in the middle of war production and may have run short of the better quality woods for stock work.
