The .22 caliber adaptors were built and marketed by Parker-Hale, patented 17 January 1923, "supplied in quantities to the Canadian Defence Department, the Small Arms School Pachmarchi, India and the Government of Northern Ireland. By 1940 is was also available for use with the caliber .38 Enfield Service Revolver and the .38 Webley Mark IV. (pg. 232, Webley Revolvers, Bruce & Reinhart, 1988.)
Pretty scarce, actually. The kit was intended to temporarily replace the regular cylinder for economical target practice. So the revolver up on auction is "missing" the original cylinder.
