So what about the other English gunmakers? Watson, Cogswell, Army Navy

It seems that there are Daniel Fraser rifles being built yet again, John Dickson seems to be owning the name: https://www.john-dickson.com/available-gun/new-daniel-fraser-velox-ms-rifle

They do look a bit weird around the magazine bottom but I guess that is like they looked before? Judging from the bolt handle it seems to be a Mannlicher inspired design.

Wow thanks for posting that, never seen those before.

The original Fraser made rifle were fantastic & one of my favorite builders, I have none as can't afford one but very nice mostly with a few strange features some times on Fraser rifles.

These by Dickson aren't even close, bolt handle has been thinned to near breaking point to clear the scope Id say, wood around the mag box has been made thicker & not finished nicely, no doubt to strengthen a weak stock area, but the bipod in the cases is a clue to the thought pattern on who ever is building these ?
