    Kev, that answers my question and also confirms the length difference between the two plates. I guess the new plates never got given a NSN number.

    Are there any other changes in NSN numbers between the early and later L4A1 magazines?

    For both early and latter magazines they have the following NSN numbers:-

    Early L4A1 Magazines
    Case: 1005-99-960-2492
    Platform: 1005-99-960-2794
    Spring: 1005-99-960-0090
    Retainer: 1005-99-960-3000
    Bottom Plate: 1005-99-960-2044


    Later L4A1 Magazines
    Case: 1005-99-960-2492
    Platform: 1005-99-960-2794
    Spring: 1005-99-960-0090
    Retainer: 1005-99-960-3000
    Bottom Plate: 1005-99-961-7944

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    No other changes I can see.
    The new/later bottom plates to drawing MG5675 are NSN 961-7944

    If you ever come across an Aussie L4 IPL give can you give me a shout

    Typically your correct, generally any part that is common between Australia and Britain will have the same country code even though its made in two different countries.

    But there are some parts that are 'Australianicon' so have the 66 code. Classic example:

    7.62mm L1A1 Rifle (Australian) 1005-66-100-2001
    7.62mm L1A1 Rifle (British) 1005-99-960-0001

    or

    Slide, Cocking Handle (Australian) 1005-66-010-2099
    Slide, Cocking Handle (British) 1005-99-960-2302

    In New Zealand the majority of parts for the L2A2 SUIT Sight have 98 (New Zealand) designation as country... this is because they are sourced through a New Zealand company. NSN coding can be confused and complicated sometimes.
