T less t's

[Roger Payne]

If the rifle is a M47 no C, then the fact that there's no receiver side wall 'T' doesn't matter a lot. I've owned a number of these 43 rifles &, if not all, most didn't have one, or it was applied after the event by a judicious armourer.

Can you decipher the (presumed) original scope number on the butt? I'd expect it to be a Mk1 or an early Mk2 instrument.
