Probably "sporterised" basically lightened to turn it into a "hunting rifle". Quality of the process varied greatly, depending ion the skills of the person doing the work.
The markings are a bit confusing as posted. Could the "wide V" be an arrow? (Basically a v with a center line). If so that is a "Broad arrow" (an indication of military property at some time). "M 1942" might indicate made by the Maltby factory in 1942 with a serial number of 10206 |

i think it a maltby , but photos would be helpful , you NEED to know the correct terminology is no4 mkI , the serial is correct for that ,
or mkI* depending on mfgr , i suspect the previous but you also need to know that maltby had a few marked the latter , do post a few photos - you will get lots of good info from them ,
