Huvius, yes, it is windage adjustment. I posted about these sights a long time ago. Click on the link posted above.
Forgot to mention weight,7.5 pounds, and length of pull, 14.5".
A prestigious name like "Jeffery" or "Westley Richards" engraved on the barrel would have done nothing to improve appearance, handling or function, but would have certainly doubled the price imho.

This is my recent acquisition, also from "no name" maker, with British proof marks on both the barrel and receiver. One of the marks reads .375 EX., which led me to believe that it was a converted .375 Nitro Express. However, the load it was proofed for is clearly not that of a .375 Nitro Express, and it is marked ".375 H&H Magnum" elsewhere, and accepts .375 H&H cartridges.

Sweet .375H&H

In the British gun trade a lot guns and rifles were delivered at various stages of finish by the trade to retailers who would then complete for their customer and add thei name to it. Amongst Rifles their Mauser and mannlichers that have Dickson, Alex Henry, Army and Navy etc etc. Ditto for shotguns, both box and sidelock.

Often you do find guns that got into the market unsigned. Why - a customer needed it now, a dealer needed the cash, or where sitting in stock when gunmaker retired or went bust. In the 1950's through to the 70's Parker hale sold a lot of rifles this way. William Evans, William Powell and others are all still doing this, with guns from Italy, Spain and elsewhere.

My rifle definitely pasted through the same shop as the OPs, it has the same pattern of checkering and the proof marks are identical. The differences being the trigger guard/magazine assembly and barrel configuration.

'Yanks' did it, too. This from the 1939 Stoeger catalog;

Found at the recent Kassel gunshow: An English Mauser rifle in .375 rimless Nitro Express aka 9.5x57 Mannlicher – Schoenauer. Long 26" barrel. DWM M98 action. London proof marks. Not marked by a maker or dealer. Two folding leaves express sight, marked 200 and 300. Slim British style stock without cheekpiece, with horn foreend tip and steel buttplate. Flat top checkering. I just cleaned it a bit and installed one of my "Ersatz –Sportarget" peep sights http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=151111&an=0&page=1#Post151111
Will be interesting to see how the ballisics from the 26" barrel compare to those from the 20" barrel of my M 1910 Mannlicher – Schoenauer. Any comments, please?
