Looks Like a Mark5 ?

Hello, I just picked the supposes Lee Endfield Mark 5. The date seems a little early at 8/43. Other things make me think it's a clone. What do you think from these pics?

Looks like a no.4 receiver to me.

Thank you. I posted some better pics of the receiver. I'm still learning thes rifle so what makes you think it's a mark4?

Looks like it's marked as a No4 in the pics.

Well for starters… pre-1944 no.4mk1 receiver, no.4 shortened barrel, reproduction flash hider, missing all the weight reduction features of a no.5, wrong rear sight, wrong furniture…

Have you looked at any photos of what a no.5 rifle should look like as opposed to a sporterized no.4 rifle?

I think these were made up by a company in the USA, so called Commando Carbine. The cast metal flash Hider is a dead give away. No lightening cuts on the receiver, no fluting on the barrel knox.
