The pictured rifle is a Mannlicher-Schoenauer, and listed as a ".375 Express" it could be either a .375 2-1/4" Rimless Nitro (9,5x57) or a .400/.375 H&H, most likely the former.
I have owned an H&H Mannlicher in the .375 2-1/2" Flanged Nitro, and a beauty it was, but it was built on an 1892 Mannlicher en-bloc clip action, not the later spool magazined Mannlicher-Schoenauer action.
The '.375 EX' stamp pictured here
is the same british mark as on my M1910 Takedown (original Steyr system).
On mine that is supplemented with the recommended cordite charge and bullet weight of '43 - 270 MAX'. Better photos of the H&H would help to identify. The 'max' stamp appears to be in the shadow above the '.375 EX'. The model number designation on the receiver ring is also not photographed.
The 9.5X57, common to all original, non modified, M1910 rifles and carbines has also been referred to, sold, and catalogued as .375 Nitro Express Rimless 2.25" (British designation), 9.5 X 56, 9.5 x 56.7, and others. It was listed by DWM as #531. It may have been designed originally by Westlery Richards for Eley - Kynoch in 1908, though some scholars debate this.
DWM MS cartridges listed in 1939 Stoeger Catalog:
Here are the Kynoch offerings of .375 from the 1939 Stoeger:
