I haven't found references to one quite like it online. There's no provision for open sights, a barrel sleeve, and a muzzle weight, evidently some sort of UK special - but with a conventional (and rather nice) Walnut stock.

The butt pad isn't contemporary with the piece - it originally had a ventilated "Wiking" pad which was falling to bits. I never thought that finding a replacement could be such a task, or I'd have tried to knock something off the price.... in the end I got a gunsmith to size something down to fit.

Nice. Mine has the same markings, and what looks like the same muzzle device (though mine is definitely a primitive silencer). Is the receiver really not drilled to fit a rear sight? Cool.
