What I see so far looks cool! Have you got any of the cartridge and the whole profile? Heaps of fun...
I believe it is a 500 Jeffery necked up to .584. 500 grains has some 900 grain bullets for it that would be interesting. The rifle will probably be loaded to 1900fps with 750 grain bullets. Same as the .577 2 3/4 loading. That is plenty for anything in Africa for sure.
I see this thread refers to a .577 Nyati. I had not heard of this cartridge, but looking at the photos I see the barrel is inlayed in gold .585 Nyati. I have heard of the latter.
I believe the .585 Nyati is based upon the .600 Nitro case with the rim turned off, recut to rimless form, necked down to accept slugs for the .577 and maybe shortened. It was created by Ross Seyfried if I remember correctly.
