Yours question is very difficult to answer because there is many different versions in each code. Best way to get answer to yours question is read Jon Speed´s books "Original Oberndorf Sporting Rifles" and "Mauser Archives". Both are available to buy.

The A is patterned after British rifles. Has horn fore end tip, 1 fixed and 4 folding blade express rear sight. Round barrel and banded front sight.Hinged floorplate with in bow release. Drop box on long (magnum) action.
The B may have a round or half octagonal/half round barrel with a solid top rib. The front sight is a sweated on ramp on the round barrel,integral with the rib on half hex barrel.The rear sight may be a tangent sight or a fixed blade with one folding leaf in front and one leaf behind.Semi Schnabel fore end tip. Pressed steel grip cap. Shotgun style trigger guard with single or double set triggers, or hinged floorplate with in bow release.
The C is the least desirable and often has the stepped, military type barrel and a rounded pistol grip(no cap).

Mauser Bolt Rifles by Ludwig Olson is fairly definitive source of information on both military and sporting Mauser rifles and the ammunition used in them. Probably more so than Jon Speeds book which concentrates on just the Oberndorf Mauser Sporters (as I understand it).

Probably the best and most sort after Oberndorf Mauser Sporter was the Type A but it did come in 11 different patterns with these patterns differentiated by double or single triggers, a range of different rear sights, not just the 1 fixed and four folding blade version, octagonal and round barrels. The Type A Pattern #1 as described by Wanabebwana is probably the most recognisable and popular Oberndorf Mauser sporter rifle especially in big game calibres in that it was made specifically for the English African safari market so did not have the Germanic features that the other patterns did.

If any interest to military Mauser rifles, IMO this books is one good to have:
