Thank you, time to dig another one out :)
This one is 14X100 (ish) is belted and head stamped K4 1941 WII. K4 could denote the Imperial Chemical Industries Kynoch factory at Yeading, Hayes, Middlesex, UK.

A 14X99B You do it again
I do have another to hand however it is stranger than the last two and has no head stamp. 20x103 rimless boxer primed with a short neck and 30mm head, I will take some pictures.
EDIT - two correct calls.
