In fact, the .275 Rigby made before the war came out from the Oberndorf factory as barrelled actions fully finished in the white and proofed while Rigby only intervention was limited to stocking, sighting and finishing.
The .275 used intermediate length action and, to date, all the ones I got in hands had this type of floorplate, a magazine found on commercial C-Types as well as quite a few other civilian models.

Thanks for this input (as well as Steve's (bouldersmith), very informative to hear from fellows that really know the trade.

Interestingly enough I suspect Rigby had (at least in the 1930's) some of the stocking outsourced to "the trade". My Cogswell & Harrison .242 Vickers has almost line for line & inch for inch (mm?) exactly the same stocking, buttplate, and checkering on forend/pistol grip. I would suspect they both had to have come from the same stocker/checkerer?
As well, this Rigby carries no German proof marks whatsoever, only London proof marks.
