Yes, its a mixed gun. The main receiver is a Mark I pattern so that is how the British would have identified it on records. Without seeing the markings on the side, it is possibly one of the modified patterns purposely built with economy pattern parts while the transition to the Mark II was not complete.
Basically that gun has a lot of Mark I parts with later pattern butt and bipod. Price would be about right here in the USA for a rebuilt parts kit dummy gun. Can't say what the market price is in the UK but know enough that you need to make sure it is papered to match the way it was demilled.
