About the NO model, I think it stands for Normal or something similar, meaning the classic 1950 shape and not the "improved" 1952 or GK with slanted bolt handle etc. I think that in the 1960s there was the GM, MC and NO models, where NO was very similar to the older 1950.
But that full stocked 9.3x62 shown above has the slanted bolt handle and the additional side safety of the post-52 models GK,MC and MCA and is marked "Modell NO" also. As I wrote, all Modell NOs I have seen deviate in some way from the contemporary standard catalog offerings.
