    This one was probably in India, The greenish/yellow paint was applied to prevent rust.

    Your E-10 barrel is likely 22". Measure it using a cleaning rod down the bore with the bolt closed.

    Which of the MkIIIs is drilled and tapped?

    the E-10 was tapped, as is the MKIII conversion which has a cut down barrel and a cheap scope. All the rest are good.
