Can you identify this rifle / muzzle device?

So, wrapping up the work week and have a documentary on one of the monitors. The segment was about the Greek Civil War (1946—1949) and one of the fighters was cleaning a rifle with an unusual muzzle device:


Thinking maybe Finnish Lahti cannon?



Though what one was doing in the Hellenic Republic, I can't say. Though that time and place had a truly diverse set of weapons about; indigenous, Allied, Axis, and others. So, perhaps from Germany's erstwhile ally or captured by the Soviets who supplied one side.

Anyone hazard a guess?

Looks like a Lahti L39 antitank rifle. They have that sort of muzzle attachment but they usually have holes on the side.

The first photo is a Boys Anti-Tank Rifle.

There is a cover on the muzzle brake in your 2nd linked picture.

The Boys would make sense, considering the British involvement during the Axis invasion of Greece.
