L9A1 Hi-Power question

[enbloc8]

A question:

Somebody on another board posted pics of a purported L9A1 Hi-Power. The basic markings match the described Australian spec sheet in the Hi-Power book by Stevens, but there's a couple of things I find puzzling:

1.) The serial number is a T-series, not the "country+year+A12345" serial described in the book and shown on pics of British (I assume) L9A1s.

2.) The NSN on the frame does not match the one on the photographed L9A1s in the book (and looks a little small).

3.) There is no NSN at all on the slide.

Does any of this add up for an L9A1? My gut says it's a common civilian T-series Hi-Power that somebody had custom engraved with the extra markings.

Anyone??
