Mystery markings on No.4 Mk 1. Can anyone help?
I recently came into ownership of a No.4 Mk 1 dated 1956. While I'm sure the markings on it are far from being actually a mystery, I've scoured the internet and I've come up with nothing as to what these markings actually mean.
Lots of knowledgeable folks on this site, I figure someone ought to know something. Any help or speculation is greatly appreciated! Photos of the markings are to follow.
Note: The left side of the wrist is devoid of markings, as is the left side of the receiver, which if I didn't know any better, might indicate that this is a contract rifle of some kind?

Remove the rear handguard and check for a newly manufactured barrel. If it doesn't have a knox form flat...you win a rebuilt Indonesian No4 rifle of your very own.

Well I'll be. It never even crossed my mind to search up Indonesian Enfields. Literally the first images showed the markings. Embarrassing.
Here is the barrel after lifting the hand guard. Looks to match the receiver.

Not embarrassing at all, you have a bit of an odd collectible. Nice.

Thanks! 
I'm trying to do some digging on Indonesian Enfields and I'm surprised by how little information there is on these. Or perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places! In any case, onward with research!

Indonesia converted a whole bunch of Steyt rifles TO .303 British
in the 1960s I beleive. I have one somewhere.
