The Originals were not scalloped. Scalloping was used as aftermarket modification by some smiths. The dimension table in Speed´s book lacks the dimesions for the 6,5x55.
It makes no sense to me that Mauser would put out commercial sporting rifles that would not feed well enough that they needed aftermarket modification. I’ve come across several Oberndorf sporters with the inner magazine wall scallops, including 10.75x68. I’m not saying you are necessarily wrong, just that I don’t see why Mauser would put out poor feeding rifles that needed help.
