Not a Lee Enfield. But, as A Square 10 said, from the little we can see, looks like it might be a Snider Enfield.
The “25” stamp refers to the bore size, 25 balls to the pound of lead, .577 inch bore. These were initially conversions from the Pattern 1853 Rifled Musket.

All Sniders are interesting rifles. How about a full-length photo?
