5th Batt---good spot! Especially just from one photo. You are correct. The "A" Pattern from 1902 SMLE Trials, and the P+W on the left.
These were going up on auction. Plus a few more that most forum members here will recognize from Skennerton. I spotted them from across the room...never thought I'd have a chance to actually examine them in person. From the Bob Faris collection of course.
Will post more pics soon. A Howell auto too plus more you'll recognize.

They already have more pictures of several of the shown highlights available here: March 2017 Selected Highlights (you have to scroll down quite a bit to find those rifles).

I was wondering about the Faris collection.He passed away 2 years ago.
I was told he had one of the best enfield collections on the planet.I may go to the auction just to see his collection in person.I won't be buying anything,out of my league!

For what I know: they tried to sell the whole collection in one part or in larger groups, but everything was priced at Ian Skennertons estimates. Therefore everything added up to a number exceeding 7 digits. And the market for those who would buy everything at once is rather small, especially when considering that collecting is also about the hunt for every single piece where as buying a complete collection with every small gap filled is rather boring.
