All i can add is
1 The barrel is not original
2 Not a SMLE barrel
3 Not a No4 barrel
There appears to be a lot of material removed from the top of the receiver ring.
It looks a lot worse than it is, its 12mm accross, after the barrel is removed first job will be to re blue the bare metal, will be rusting using salts.
