Many in Britainwere converted to L38 Drill Purpose and used and Hereford for the country walks during selection,
the one I have was fitted with a "para" type rear sight when I got it dressed as a deactivated L1A, I believe the rear sight is original to the X8 as it has the same patina of the finish
. I have since found all of the missing parts, with 2 sets of wood to make it look like an X8 or the L38 DP
