Does yours have the little block arrangement in one corner for the Bolt? Can't see it on the pics.
This one also has the Alex Martin legend in the same location and same font as yours.

Yes the bolt block in the corner remains, nice to see one in its original condition!
The No. 14 chest is slightly longer, taller and thinner than the standard No. 15. Here is a rough pic of the different chest types. L42, CNo. 7, No. 15, No. 14, Bren (converted), and Bren.
