Australian Lugers?

Sorry, Volunteer Defence Corps, the Australian WW2 version of the British Home Guard.

OOps Sorry, I thought you were talking about the P14 Enfield, my stuff-up.

The 2MD mark on the knox form of your SMLE would signify issue in 2MD, as I said, probably to a reserve, training, lines of communication or VDC unit.

The 6LH on the butt disk would identify the rifle as being issued to the 6th Light Horse Regiment, this marking was probably done between the wars. The Australian War Memorial Webpage may have more info on this unit and what/where it served.
