Whose Rigby Big Game is this? Scope Mounts?

Hello all. Rick is my name; a new member. I'm getting close to buying a Mauser M98 Magnum and need some advice.

Can anyone identify the image below? I found it here on NE a week ago, IIRC. I'd like to ask the owner which particular Recknagel mounts these are (part number?), along with their Bauhöhe (height) spec above the Double Square Bridge. I can see the G9-PLUS rear mount and what looks like a 26mm offset for the front mount, but the height is not so easy. Clearly these pivot mounts are providing sufficient clearance between the scope and the bolt handle of a Mauser M98 Magnum action, as used with this Rigby Big Game. Great.

If the owner of this lovely rifle is reading this, would you be able to measure the diameter of the scope's ocular lens housing please? In millimeters if possible. Thanks.

Of course, if anyone has good intel on which scope mounts will work with an M98 Magnum action/bolt handle and a scope such as this, do tell. Thanks. I asked a similar question on another forum recently and haven't got a nailed-down answer yet.

I'm doing an engineering drawing to assess clearances and it's looking a bit problematic, hence my need for more information.

Regards, Rick.
