According to the Birmingham proofdate mark the barreled action was proofed in A = 1950. It is entirely possible to fit a standard length M98 action into a stock made for the original Mauser Magnum action, as the screwhole spacing and diameters are the same, contrary to popular belief. People who think otherwise know only the post-WW2 Brevex actions.

That is correct.
That is why the recoil lug is located vertically under the center of the receiver ring on a std. action but more rearward below the receiver ring on a magnum action. The extra length is all in the front half of the action but the front screw is located the same in relation to the rear half of the action.
