Dutch Beaumont Pupil Rifle. What is it?

So I guess maybe it’s not a Pupil rifle?

I was thinking it would be a sporter, cut down for hunting. The cartridge would be very effective at proper ranges.

I’ve actually been looking for a sportster cut down for exactly that purpose. I have a correct numbers matching rifle that shoots very well but it’s a full length rifle that I have no interest in carrying in the woods. I like the looks of this rifle for exactly what I wanted it for, but the auction listed it as a pupil length rifle. So I’m trying to figure out what exactly I have. Based on the serial number prefix, I think it might be more in line as a Carbine version with the stock shortened. I’m hoping someone here may have better information. Obviously once it arrives, I can post better pictures of the numbers.

Seems like it would fit the bill there quite nicely, if nothing else. Looks like a handy little beast.
