Rifles used by Cadet Bisely Team of 1911

Single-shot .22s of SOME sort.
"Cadet" model Ross was officially/unofficially the 1912 Model, but was available in 1911.
Similar in appearance to these but Bolt Knob is not the same as ones I have seen. Perhaps earlier?
C'mon people who KNOW something: we need some help here!

US Krag, I would think.
Bore too big for Norwegian, Danish are just too damn rare.
Many years ago, worked with a guy who was an Oberscharfuhrer in the Waffen-SS. He did a lot of time on the Ostfront, utterly HATED "Hogan's Heroes", which was high comedy at the time.
"They makes us out to look like fools! VE VERE NOT FOOLS!!!"
I can remember him roaring that as if it were yesterday. Never argue with the Oberscharfuhrer.
He was actually a good boss and I remember him showing IMMENSE patience and compassion for a Canadian sailor/cook who was screwed by The System after one of our destroyers shelled an American town one Sunday morning. "Long time passing......"

They are not Ross 1910, .22's nor are they any of the Lee Enfield or Enfield .22 training rifles. Barrels are too heavy for W/O Pattern, so I suspect they are a trade made rifle from someone like Parker, Tippins, Whitworth or any other of the great old target rifle makers of the period. The barrel profile suggests they are a purpose build single shot target rifle and no magazine is evident.
