Only in the box art I believe. The box art shows No.4's, that's obvious, as these are shown with long barrel protusions past the end cap, typical of the No. 4, but the actual rifles in the kit appear to be No. 1 Mk III's, as these don't have any protruding barrel sticking through the bayonet ring. The bayonets look to be around the right length for 1/35 scale, possibly a tad short, but hardly noticeable if they are. Check out the sprue photo at 4:49 in the video, which gives a good view of the rifles in the kit. Cheers!

1916 soldiers with 1941 rifles… Big fail, MasterBox. The No 4 Mk 1 became common issue to British troops in 1941. In 1916 the SMLE (Short, Magazine, Lee Enfield) or Rifle No 1 Mk III* was the standard battle rifle. It’s the one with the blunt muzzle cap and 16” sword bayonet.
