German pre 1913 Proof Marks

I was looking at the M88 sporting rifles that Lancaster has posted on the Mannlicher page of the forum. Very nice rifles by the way. I noticed that several of the rifles have a proof on the left side of the receiver as 2.75g GBP/StmG. My Collath M98 sporter, originally, and several others I've seen are marked 2.67g GBP/StmG. Is that not a lighter proof load or am I missing something? Everything that I have read claims that the M88 is a much weaker action than a M98. Maybe the Germans didn't think so. Thanks
