    4 different types of scopes with the same sized caps:

    no32 sniper rifle with adjustable post and bar reticle

    no42 tank? fixed glass? reticle



    no53 tank? fixed glass? reticle



    just to confuse you there is also a no71 which is a no32 converted for use in a tank. fitted with a glass reticle




    no53 reticle left no32 right. picture from Lee Enfield .303 - | 150 best links to everything Lee Enfield.



    a good article on parts inter-changeability:

    I think that's a No71 reticule isn't it with the numbers 6 to 14? The No.53s I've seen had a four post reticule stepping down in thickness about halfway along each post and with an open center to the field of view.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
