After doing some work on the pic- yes, it is an Pernox / Goerz.
I would say the distance shown between the end of the prism case and the edge of the adjustment knob to too long for this scope to be a Goerz Pernox 3.5x. I believe it must be an earlier type of Pernox or a Hensoldt Solar of some type.
Obviously a sporting rifle. Did the Austro-Hungarians requisition scoped sporting rifles as was done in Germany?
The mounts look terribly flimsy and very high, even for that time.
The Austrians used big game hunters, mainly members of the royalty, and in their experience, they were much more fond of bringing their own rifles then the standard issued rifles, read the book the Sojurner for a novel about Austrian snipers in WW1.
