"The Lee Enfield" by Ian Skennerton pages 348-350 gives a full description of this "Australian" made rifle, if you don't have a copy of this book my advice is to get one as it answers questions you did not even know you were going to ask!!!!!!!!

I have the book - I shall check it out tonight.

Nothing mythical about the top one Warren. Not a sporter, but a BSA .22 Trainer trials rifle. There's about a hundred of them ... somewhere. The bottom one looks like it came out of the same stable but may be a pre-trials prototype. Very nice.
