I've run across information several times on No.1 rifles with fore ends cut in just this manner for use by sharpshooters or designated Marksmen in the India-China-Burma theatre. They'd given up on keeping the bedding perfect due to humidity and simply cut down the fore ends.

I need to check my copy of Skennerton but if yours was made in 1917 it would have been made as an SMLE* and not have had the cutoff on it.
