    Yes. Earlier Daimler receivers were marked with a 'D' and later ones were marked with their dispersal code 'M 67'.

    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 ...

    But other than that, was it exactly the same group of companies, in the same relationship with each other, who made the Bren marked with "D" and "M67"?

    Yes is the simple, no different to Enfield moving from the Enfield and crown Mark to the ED.

    This is possibly where the misunderstanding of Enfield making the Mk2, the D for Daimler being confused with the ED of Enfield.
