Former Lee Enfield No 1 Mk 6 or No 4 Trials stock?

[BVZ24]

One of the big parts website ran a flash sale on Lee Enfield parts so I decided to test my luck for a new stock for a jungle carbine I've been on and off parts swapping for about 5 years. I wasn't expecting much, but I thought it would probably be more serviceable than the twice+ refinished and refurbished stock I have. On first inspection I noticed some repairs that indicated that it was a cut down full sized stock, and the addition of an Ishapore screw. I dry fit the stock and noticed that the right side went down far enough to fit a magazine cut off, and had an inlet for the boss for the cut off screw. I then thought that this was a stock for a No 1, but a quick comparison proved otherwise. Was this once a stock for one of the early No 4 trials rifles that retained the magazine cut off? I am aware that many of these rifles and parts were mixed together with later No 4's and often not noticed.

In any case, it's not what I'm looking for for a stock for this No 5.
