Bruce in Oz -- you make a very valid and important distinction. The Parker-Hale conversions were quite often "cream of the crop" cherry-picked FTR rifles, and very nicely converted. Many (like mine) had special foresights and rear-sights (such as the PH-4 &5). These should never be classified as "Bubba" monstrosities. In the '50s & '60s the Parker Hale conversions were often quite expensive with exotic stocks. (Google "Parker Hale Catalog" Images to see the quality of these guns) Bubba, on the other hand, is a category not worth gracing with discussion.
