Identifying Mauser Model A vs B vs...?

Damn this thread is getting attention again and I'm looking back at that one rifle... Simpson also has a barreled action that I could maybe do something with.

Something most esoteric, just to have. .318 Westley-Richards, .350 Rigby. .425 Westley perhaps...
 
Sorry to necro this thread, but is this a late production Model B or something different? I know some had the Mauser markings on top and then covered by scope mounting later in the production cycle (or so I have read). Some items seem on point, but others seem off. Thank you.

Replacement clawmounts are probably a $2000 option in the USA.

Here in Germany, they ar about $1200-1500.

Heavily recommended to remove them and put some other sort of mount on.

Kaps Optik makes original looking modern optics for claw mounts, but someone needs to build the claw mount.

Any idea of this is actually a Mauser? Leaning toward maybe a GECO or something.

Not sure, looks like a 1950-1970's sporterized military rifle. I can't see the rest of the stock, the fore end looks off.
 
Triggers seem like FN DeLuxe double-set triggers. I would also say sporterized, 50's+? I have a similar one, including the stock fore end but with modified spoon handle.

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
