Looks an awful lot like a Redfield Junior to me. John Redfield, according to what I'm told, was an American sniper in the Great War who thought that the job could be done better, so, when he came home, he darned well DID it better.
Wonderful mounts: you can remove the scope and put it back on without changing zero. They are necessary if you should have one of those wonderful old, darned-near-indestructible Bausch & Lomb Balvar turretless scopes. ONLY problem is that you have to use the proper Redfield rings with them. They are incredibly solid and don't cost much more than regular Weavers.
To remove the scope, you remove the nut at the right-hand side of the back end of the mount, pull your scope 90 degrees sideways and lift it off. Reassemble in reverse. SUPER solid. They were used on a fairly large number of sniping rifles during the Second War. They have been around for a long time and there's still nothing to beat them.
If I were building a sniping rifle, I would start with a Mark III Ross action and a Redfield mount.
Stith also made a LE mount that was similar.

ahhh seee.. nothing is ever easy
If your local gun shop doesn't have them, they certainly know where to get them.
They are a production item even today, simply because they are the best.
Browning, Leupold, Buehler and all the rest are just somebody else's idea of building a Redfield mount with their own name on it.
I'm pretty sure I saw something in one of their catalogues about mounting the Number 4, so they will know something for sure. Company is still in business, of course.
Good luck!

I can see that the front would require a couple screw holes but what about the back, does it requite D&T or would it lock into the charger bridge somehow?
