I'll have to admit that I've no idea what a MkIII sight is. Do you have a pic, or a link to one? TIA.

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.

Thanks f/the education. Yep, it appears to have been a Mk4 sight. Would that be appropriate/original on a 1943 Longbranch No.4 rifle?

Yes,
There was a Canadian icon

Army program to refit all of the existing stocks of rifles equipped with the MkII rear sight in starting @June 1944, and all current and future manufacture was to be so equipped.

No Long Branch rifle manufacture dated after mid 1944 should have a MkII rear sight.
