Parker Hale Empire mounts Mmmmmmm look exactly like the Field Instrument of Melbourne one i have on a No1 Mk3*. There is also the No4/No5 on my No5, the 7/8 on a Vore .22 plus some others in the spares compartment. None marked Parker Hale.
Thanks Gil for the info.
Looking through my PH product catalog it looks like the dovetails on the M87 were all milled into the receiver? But the M86 only has the front dovetailed and the rear is milled for PH5E/83 rear sight?
Edit to add I found this image online. It says it's an M87 and you can see screw holes in the rear base.

Nice scope on it with nice woodwork on the wrist and upper too.

So I did find a picture of a rear scope base but unfortunately it doesn't have any markings on it.
