From Ludwig Olson's "Mauser Bolt Rifles" this looks to be an altered Special Range Rifle...had a tangent rear sight as well as "a collapsible peep sight fitted to a square-top receiver bridge".

I don't have that reference (yet) but based on the photos in Speed's book I don't think it is a Special Range Rifle. It resembles the African Model in every way, with the exception of the shorter barrel. But I definitely agree that the peep sight listed as an option for the Special Range Rifle fits the description of what is on this one.
