Also, does anybody know what the 2/45 and 10/54 stamped into the stock mean? Are these arsenal refurb dates?

And the forearm number *should* be on the outside of the forearm just behind the nosecap, if replaced by an armorer. By the way, I do have an OA-marked sight ear. PM me with your address if you want it, say shipping and a five for it.

Dates maybe, though that might be too straight forward as far as enfields are concerned lol

Logically they are dates, but why they are there could be for a myriad of reasons.
One reason could be that : Every year a percentage (10% or 20% ?) were taken out of the armoury / stores and fully checked, then marked to show they had been inspected, then returned to stores. Could this be the date(s) it was inspected ? If it was due to having a 'refurb' or major parts parts replaced there would be a marking (such as FTR) alongside the date. (Or, in the case of India FR) |

Okay. I can't see a serial number but the back of the leaf is stamped WA above the numbers 43.
There is something in the stock just next to the nose piece but i can't make heads or tails of what it is.
