    The change from MkIII to MkIII* only officially involved the magazine cut off. Although they were removed, some just before and other at the time, the volley sights and windage adjustable rear sights are noted in the LoC as able to be present on both models.
    In Australiaicon the SMLE reverted back to the MkIII and the magazine cut off for all production from the early 1920’s until mid 1941.
    Although not likely, it would not be wrong to have a windage adjustable rear sight.

    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.

    Quite a few of the rifles that came from the ex-Italian Navy batch have a variety of features. Windage adjustable rear sights on Mk3*'s is quite common, as is the reverse! As you say, the cut-off was the defining matter; other parts were probably fitted according to what was to hand at the time.
