I've sketched this quick presentation. I hope it's clear enough. My camera has died otherwise I'd post some pics.

Your No.4 Mk I, isn't Canadian made by chance? I can't help wondering what became of the surplus of .303 barrels that they used in the manufacturing of the Ross rifles, during WW I. Historically they were so tight chambered the thin wall British ammunition when fired in them would expand and strick in the chamber. While Canadian made ammunition had no problem because the walls of the brass were thicker. I have to wonder if there was a surplus of barrels. If they weren't reamed a bit and used in the manufacturing of the No.4 rifle during WW II. Just a theory, you haven't had any problems with extracting fired cartridges have you?
