Thank you for sharing your viewpoint... Although your reference, Afghanistan is not in the middle east....
I would agree the trigger guard looks legitimate, every other angle in stock & lock is off. The bolt holding the hammer is also clearly not English, never mind London made.
The fact modern fakes from Afghanistan, with a few original parts mixed in, {Of origin unknown.} you regard as legitimate is strange.
I State origin unknown as I presume you know many of the Royal Afghan Army rifles were made in Kabul etc. as well? Not just the UK?
