Will take a look later tonight! Thank you!!
There was a single letter/ some sort of proof mark on the top of the barrel in the middle near where the rear of the rear handguard goes.
Would this be it??? Paint is in the way but something it there.

Don't notice that indent on other enfields

Did some searching, it's in the exact spot as other Savage Enfields. So I'm saying savage barrel confirmed. Might try to get some of the paint off there
Yep, that's it.
Well another member here is sending my a lower barrel band (thanks!!), so I'll post some more pics once that's installed. And since I'm installing a new part, I guess that means I'll have to accuracy test it again lol.
Well another member sent me a lower barrel band and I installed it tonight. Rifle is now not missing anything and is complete. Special thanks to Roger for sending the piece out to me, it's very much appreciated. Can't wait to get her out to the range again!!!!

Another proof mark is also visible due to it not being obstructed by the clamp in order to hold it in place :)

the 2 groove rifling was a expediting effort to reduce the amount of time it to to rifle a barrel it is no big deal is not rare and they shoot just as good as the 5 groovers the rare one is the 6 groove barrel.
Seems to sport an early style cocking piece proof that armourers were not worried about collectibles 70+ years down the track get it up to par and back out to do the business.
