I have converted No.71 scopes back to 32's including the markings...
A fair bit of tube work but they come out nice.
The only thing I can see that is not 100% is the can markings.
Otherwise an nice clean piece..

It is just soldered on along with a small bit of metal both front and rear.
The solder appears to be soft solder....
from memory
I made several hundred in the good old days and used a bunch of DA 65 7.62 brass I had.
THAT WAS WORK!!!
The old DA brass was about as thick as a bank vault door and I had to ream the necks on all...

I'm surprised that no on mentioned it, but if you travel after 9:30 the prices are less than half.
Also, in many cases, it is cheaper to get a "cheap day return" than a one way ticket.

I had a mount with those markings come through here last year on a No.32 Mk.3 scope for repair
