No4T Foresight & S51 stamp

[Merlin266]

Hi all, I have a 1945 M47C No4T Rifle ser no U345XX, having a toot at Peters Armourers Perspective book I see that a Split block band foresight and mk2 blade were the acceptable specification for these rifles. My rifle has a solid block and a mk1 blade, wondering whether it would be worth trying to track down the correct bits and have them fitted. Also there doesn't appear to be a S51 stamp, although all other stampings are correct on the action, barrel, bolt along with the rifle serial and scope serial numbers on the stock/butt. I know tthe rifle will have passed through many hands over the years and may have had all kinds of wonderful addons, I removed the bipod attachment and aftermarket scope mount when I got it home. Can anyone shed any light of the foresight and S51 stamp issue?
