Anything other than a 3 would make it post war.

Agreed. When I bought it I knew it was modified for postwar use as most I've seen are, if not made entirely postwar. I try to look at it objectively (of course I'd love for it to be a 3 though! ).

Still a nice lid and I would be happy to own one like it, after all it is still Para and I have some paperwork of a Para with the 1st battalion who served in the middle east during the Suez crisis and I also have two post war tunics from men who were Para qualified.

And it might be a 3.
