1943 LB - "A T or not a T"?

[mcnuttwa]

Am interested in feedback on this 1943 Longbranch. No scope, no nothing. Just a rifle with cheek piece and pads.

Have looked over the various threads on the T's and the LB T's in particular but am still not certain what to think about this rifle. Most of the insightful opinions are based upon the pads and how they are or are not mounted correctly- I can't tell the difference.

Curiously, this rifle is only a few serial number digits (can't quite make out that last number) from the 1943 in this thread-

1943 Long Branch Sniper? a detailed fake or could it be.........

Thanks in advance for your thoughts
