I dug out some of our DPs today so you can see what the rifle would have originally looked like, in British service at least. Two are without the bolts - fairly common, after all they were for drill only, and one with bolt but no firing pin hole. Note also how they have been painted with red led and then a coat of black paint - again this is standard. I guess the cadets got the job of making the magazines.
