  Most No. 4's have the markings on the side of the receiver, on the side opposite the bolt handle. If your rifle was FTR'ed (Arsenal Rebuilt) sometimes markings are removed at that time, especially in India. The area you describe, more often than not, will be free of markings, they are on the receiver flat instead.

  It was reworked/rebuilt at the Royal Ordnance factory "Fazakerley" in Liverpool.
