Waidmannsheil,
Re the Mauser factory mount, i can help a bit here. The pushrod in the bridge most likely has a leg on the bolt handle side of the bridge. The leg engages a shallow recess in the foot on that side.
The recess is within the edges of the foot.
If you have Speeds first book about Oberndorf Sporting Rifles there is a good image on page 265 illustrating the design.

Yes, there is a detent in the square lump and an oblong button on the bolt side of the bridge which has a pin in one end which engages the detent. The spring is under the round part shown in Joel's picture.
Interestingly, the rear bridge Mauser scope mount is incredibly consistent from gun to gun. I had a Kurz which was missing it's mechanism but the one from a TypeG fit perfectly as did one from a TypeB. The claws at the front mount are not as standardised though.
