Advertised on New Zealand's Trade Me site. Seller states the following;
"GREAT example.
Matching bolt.
1937 on receiver.
Cut off
Charger guide
Usual dings in wood
Pull through (rough) in butt.
2 extra hole have been drilled into left receiver for extra sights at some stage.
Good bore (see photos), but been rusty at some stage.
Estate sale."

When asked about other serial numbers on rear sight, nose cap etc, the reply was:
"All matching. 26468 under sight. Same on bayonet lug, Same on wood. Also a "1940" on wood at back of the stock on right side"

The only thing that concerns me is the two extra holes drilled into the left side of the receiver, which seem awfully close to the locking lug recess. And the fact that my request for further photos showing the holes from the inside of the receiver/bolt channel has gone unanswered.

Please feel free to offer your opinions, as I believe that 1930's dated Lithgowicon receivers are reasonable rare.
