No surprise, since the Brazilian model was the M1908, not the Gew. 98! I agree, most of the Gew. 98s one sees are pretty beaten up, thanks to WW1, but the M1908s are frequently in "arsenal mint"...

The photo illustrates very well the difference in profile between the older "slim-line" Chilean and the slightly plumper Brazilian - which I find a very comfortable rifle to shoot.
