With a proper manufacturing liscence they can be made for movies or other purposes, like police training. Somehow I doubt that is the case here.
I can't say it is that hard to find an Enfield mil issue revolver and have it deactivated. I see the revolvers all the time for between $80-$150 each, and deactivation can be done by anybody, although the CFC now wants the signature of a police officer or a gunsmith verifying they have seen the deactivation and that it meets the guidelines.
Once was a time I was buying them for $30 each, but the market seems to have tightened up since then.
Businesses and individuals that have replicas have to store and transport them with a degree of security equal to or exceeding that of the real firearms. Yet a deactivated gun can be left unsecured on the mantlepiece. Sure makes a lot of sense, eh?
