Time to pick your brains.

The last couple of rifles I picked up are a 1913 Enfield Sht. L.E III and a 1918 Enfield Sht. L.E III*.

The 1918 has a motty barrel, PH5a rearsight, Taylor foresight and is setup as a target rifle, the bore is great and a 301 gauge just makes it thru. Matching numbers.

The 1913 was also setup as a target rifle, but I have put it back(almost) the way it should be, there are a couple of details yet to correct.
The bit that is giving me a headache is the butt disc, I have checked both PL's and IDS's books , the best I can surmise is HongKong VDC, the other bits elude me, I maybe way off.

This rifle is in bloody good nick for something that has been around the world and maybe the odd conflict or two, rebarreled in 1923, copper recoil lugs fitted and all numbers match.

So hook in boys, tell me what I've got. You will notice I went backwards with the forewood on the '18, I took the newish Slazenger one off and put a battered pommy one on, at least this way the hump for the volley sight is there.
