Thatr's not a Mk1/2, it's a standard Mk1 or 2 - or is that what you meant? It is simple to tell exactly which one

Yes that's what I meant, Mark 1 or 2.
Which do I have?

Can you either take another photo with the range drum markings completely visible, or, turn the range drum, & if there are only two 'clicks' between each range setting (eg between 200 & 300 yds & between 500 & 600 yds) then you have a Mk1. If there are a number of clicks, which increase as you go up the range scale (with increasing distance), then you have a Mk2.
There are also intermediate (50 yd) range markings on the Mk2 drum, but only every 100 yds on the Mk1 (this supposes the drum is original, of course).
Hope this helps.

By the way, it is a relatively simple, but complicated job to resurrect your ground tube back to normal if you ever wanted it done.

I would absolutely want it done!
What's involved?
Do I send it to you? I'm in canada if that complicates things...

Yep, the 'extra' scope is a Mk1 off (assuming the mutilated bracket is original to it) a 1943 BSA rifle, which sounds about right.

Super, thanks Roger!
Although neutered, this bracket should still be serviceable I hope.

Some one has had a right old go at that front bracket I surely doubt an armourer would bodge screw heads that badly and not get ripped for it probably a bubba......
Your scope serial is 11965 further up the food chain than my A K & S on my '44 M 47C
