Mauser did show an illustration in their catalog of an African rifle with a "double" schnabel - the first being about five inches behind the front sling swivel pretty much like this rifle.
I have seen something like that on a custom post-war sporter, where it was called an 'African fore-end'. I think the idea was that, in gripping just behind the rear protrusion, it helped reduce recoil to the shoulder.
The sling swivel was in front of that, of course.
