Does anyone Really Know?

Got a barreled reciever at the North Store. No markings on this barrel except what is shown in picture on top of the barrel.
Gas port pads are not chromed.
Any idea what 7.59 stands for and what country did the barrel come from?
I have done a search on several forums but not really come up with a firm answer.
Thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Discussion Forum - $275 barreled receiver report

prewar & WWII proofs, I'm too lazy to do down & dig out some FN stuff, but CrownL, comes to mind as the Liege proof, not sure on crownT.

It doesn't look rough enuff to be a Winchester M1 icon

the crown over T looks to be either a Belg or German nitroproof
