That aint no SMLE ! Looks like a Pattern 14 to me. These were adopted by the British in 1914 to supplement the standard service rifle (SMLE)when war broke out. They were made by three companies, Enfield in the UK and Winchester and Remington (at Eddystone and Ilion ) in the US. Later in the war the Americans modified the design to 30.06 calibre and produced it as the M17.
Some information is available on Google. David
