The 2A1s were not mixed as there has been no confirmation as yet.
The No4 conversion in Australia did not have a new ejector screw hole drilled, in fact most screws were removed all together if the local Central sight was used. Some other sights used that screw hole for mounting. There was no requirement to be able to eject unfired rounds, cases ejected without the screw in place.
Being as I'm curious can anyone find photos of a 1963 dated or earlier Ishapore 2A which shows the location of the ejector screw? I have attached links to 2-1964 dated and 1-1965 dated Ishapore 2A actions (1 converted to pistol cartridge)

I have not been able to find a single photo of a 2A/2A1 (date visible or not) which shows an ejector screw location other than the 7.62 location rather than the .303 location.
