Bolt knob has a larger than normal hole also.

Jungle Carbines didn't have the s/n stamped on the buttsocket. It was electropencilled in that wonderful British way on the left side of the receiver near the ejector screw area. No 5 Mk I ROF(F) sort of thing, then a letter and 4 numbers for a s/n.

It looks like it was refurbished in India and has the Ishapore re-inforcing screw which explains the stampings in the butt. If still all matching with a decent bore, it's worth $250-300 or so in Canada. A bit less stateside.

Appears to be a Fazakerley made piece.
