I agree with Alan & Thunderbox, the early Enforcers should all be engraved within a single ovoid! If these were all engraved to the same pattern possibly with some form of jig, then this one is totally wrong! (The E of Enforcer and D of the EFD logo should be inline).
Enfield would not have changed the pattern for one rifle!
A late Enfield replacement for a damaged receiver possibly? Probably not as there were spares existing at Enfield that would have been just swapped for the next available serial number!
Looking at pictures I have of about 70 Enforcers, and the style of lettering layout and format, this rifle should be numbered at least 403.
But as we always say with Enfield strange things happen

Have seen various comments about the seller, and Caveat emptor seems to be a watchword - but so it should be with any purchase, whether online or in person. He DOES come up with some super items though and people such as myself can get hold of things that we otherwise wouldn't be able to find.

Additional. Saying this was an original Enforcer - it kind of makes me choke that I had to sell my complete one with sights, pecar scope, Arco case etc etc for less $$ than this went for when I was out of work a while back.

The K98 is the most fake rifle in history of man and draws all kinds of low morale scammers. EVERYTHING is stamped on them just about and if you know them it takes less then 10 seconds to know somethings wrong. I bet over half of the all matching K98's in this world are in fact NOT all matching.They regularlly sell the stamps on Ebay along with M1 carbine and Garands the latter normally just springfield stock stamps. I think it should be illegal to make or buy them considering the only thing you can do is commit fraud. I'd never pay another premium for one unless the man selling was 90 and had a bullet wound..lol
