I do believe either Brithunter or Sakorick will be able to help you when they get back on line. The hallmark in the first image of the crossed swords will give the manufacturing date. While I can see the "3" to the left side, I can't quite make out the letter on the right. If you could have a look at that and post exactly what it is, I'm pretty sure Brithunter will be able to tell you the date of manufacture. Since it has "Safari" stamped on it, I would assume that is the model. However, I'm not a Parker-Hale expert, and there seems to be considerable variability in models.

Well the barrel say Safari so it would seem it's one of the Safari models. A view of the whole rifle would help as they did change things like the iron sights and the trigger blade and daft s it may seem those can help date it. The view mark is to my eye unreadable................................. but it might be ZB which is 1974 .

Need pics of whole rifle......checkering, butt pad etc.

I think it is the first photo in the other thread - the rifle without the bolt in it:
