While you are in the country theres a Bannerman .303 training/drill rifle I spotted in the REME online photo collection that was mis labeled as a Lee Enfield rifle.
I contacted the museum , and they said they intended to dig the rifle out and examine it, but I haven't heard any more about it.
Hopefully they have the actual rifle rather than just a mislabeled photo with the number of a different rifle. These are very rare. Well worth a look.
there are at least two more in the IWM collection - # 299 & # 405
