No one with any clue about Lee Enfield accuracy would attach the sling to the barrel!
So it's obviously a bubba job! It was a No4 Mk1/3 by the look of the receiver and stock cross bolt.

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!

Agree with Shaun, this is not a “factory” sportered rifle. Though it appears to have the full length barrel and the action body has not been cut up, so could be restored to factory configuration with a replacement fore-end, hand guards and barrel bands. Would need a backsight too.

It does look like a cross bolt in the first photo, but the second photo shows that it is, in fact, a tie strap.

You are correct DisasterDog. , I only looked at the first photo.
So just a No4 Mk1*
