    An MLE II sight will be incorrect for an SMLE, but beggars cant be choosers, and they'll do until you can find a correct LES marked sight.
    The LES III sight is for MkVI ammo not MkVII, the LES is for the Mk1 SMLE (MkVI) LES III the III is not marked directly after the LES & is for MkVI, the LES2 is for all SMLEs sighted for MkVII, if you look at all the sights you will see the LES & LES III sights have the same graduations only the LES2 differs.
