"Lee Speed Patents" was a patent marking and not a model. Lee was the original designer of the action and Speed was the manager of the factory. The Lee Speed Patents cover the original design plus the improvements made by the factory. Rifles for the UK armed forces were made under the Crown and didn't require the patent marking. Rifles made for the commercial market did require the marking up until when the patents expired in 1919.

Rifles with the "Lee Speed Patents" markings came in all sorts of configurations from the classic sporting rifles, target rifles through to full military form. It was generally on the right hand rear receiver wrist under the bolt handle. The Australian War Memorial has one such example https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C318168 which was purchased by the Western Australian Government and was carried during the Boer War. The Victorian Government also purchased a large number of these rifles, military configuration but stamped "Lee Speed Patents". In fact this would have been the case for most rifles purchased throughout Australia until the Lithgow SAF started in about 1912.

The rifle in the original post doesn't appear to have the "Lee Speed Patents" marking. I'm a long way from having any expertise in the area, but to me it looks like a very nicely executed sporter conversion of an early Lee.
