Well #2 showed up today and is a lot more interesting than #1.
The second rifle is a 1941 dated ROF assembled parts gun, Dunkirk special. No idea if it still 100% factory but there is nothing that sticks out as a replacement (the butt is a JC made example but the wear, finish and even color is close). Most of the parts are "F" marked, with CEW bands and a SM41 sear. Forend wood does not have a clear manufacturer mark I can see. Matching bolt, barrel and forend.
Two notes of special interest is the barrel is '42 dated two groove and that the rear receiver has been machined to accept normal production rear sights (so now it is a Mk VI* ). Pictures at the end are of it and a standard Mk VI, second receiver pic is of a Trials No. 4 and a standard No. 4 for comparison.
Sand and grit left as is under the wood line, part of her history.Information
