This is interesting. I found this barrel with what clearly appears to be a transitional Mk I style forged carry handle sleeve, but one finished with ONLY one set of lightening holes in the sleeve body- like a std fabricated Mk II??

It's (currently) on a '42-dated Enfield Mk I barrel assembly; No idea of it is original to that particular tube when it was made, but the date is telling.

Opinions? Comments?? Anybody else ever see what I tentatively presume is an uncommon variation?? (Peter- Have you ever run across this variation; were you able to document it?)
