    Can't say for certain on that one Peter, But this cover WILL fit. & is identical with the later ones issued for the MK.I & MKI/II Ferrets as well. I would hazard a guess, & say that these were the last stocks held in Ordnance stores from the last contact of covers manufactured. Abbots were released from Service at the same time as Ferrets & a LOAD of other Mil vehicles a few years back now. So anything appertaining to their C.E.S was released as well.

    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.
