No 32 Mk 2 'Barred out' now reads 'No.7'?

[mcnuttwa]

Ran across this scope on a Gun Broker Rifle.

It appears to be a Mk 2 scope with the Mk 2 data barred out, as on an L4a1 scope, and new engravings obscured by the scope bracket.

Seems to read 'No. 7followed by a digit I can't make out.

Any thoughts on this?

possibly a no71 scope for a BESA mg mounted in a centurion or ?churchill? tank.
i have a no32 mk3 that was similarly treated.

Henry has it. Easy to revert a Mk3 type to No32 spec but not so simple to revert the Mk2 type to No32 spec because........ anyway.........
