I think it's an early commercial BHP. Those had the tangent sights too. Some of them ended up in China too though.

Sunray, you are correct with regard to the Lend-Lease Inglis made pistols. However, the illustrated pistol is a pre-war FN pistol, one of the many that the Chinese purchased. In fact, one of the Chinese FNs was used by Inglis to reverse engineer their BHP production drawings.
