Well, it looks like GE Fulton won this one.

I sent this to the ebayer who sold the L1A1 scope, but never got an answer back:

Dear g43crazy3puq,

Sir:

The collectors group on Milsurps found...

The scope mount clearly has No 36863 as well. Sad to see this rifle parted out like that. Hopefully the winning bidder for the scope/mount/tin will see this thread to know that the rifle is also...

I'm interested in hearing this story/saga!
