No probs Even. The Canadian No4 used red beech, as you rightly guessed, and this was one of the recognition points, without close examination. The bolt, rear sight and bolt release were also different, hence the difference in colours, and the metal fittings were not normally painted, apart from the magazine, which would have started life as black painted, and ended up a metal colour. The butt plate was either shiny steel, or a shiny alloy. If yours has the grooves running along the top of the forestock furniture, then it's probably a Canadian No4 Mk1 *. And I guess the rear sitght would be the simple, flip over 'peep' type, graduated at 300 yards and, IIRC, 800 yards, instead of the flip-up, adjustable graduated sight, from 300 to 1,300 yards, with the 'peep' battle sight at 300 yards. Still a lovely rifle, even though mass produced, whereas the SMLE was hand-made, with the option for 3 butt lengths, and a magazine cut-off latch, overall a better weapon, but more expensive, and time consuming to manufacture.
