Went over the chest with a fine tooth comb and not much else other than what is shown.
Photo of the complete unit...if I can find it on the memory stick and a few more markings.
The rear sight sports a S for Savage

Getting better at this computer stuff.
Warren thank you for the pictures of the L42, I have seen sometimes that the Rifle serial number, telescopic sight number, and the scout regiment numbers inside the lid. Sometimes in chalk you can get the snipers name, which it was issued to or can be on the lid normally marked in permanent marker pen.
Looks a lovely rifle you might be interested that there was a thread reference, the Savage Mk.1 sights being fitted to No. 4 T’s in the last war, I have enclosed the tread link below.
