First Mauser

[Micheal Doyne]

The SSR mount appears to be a Type 1 or Type 2 SSR mount rather than the later Type 3 with the extra location pins.

I presume that bracket is a reproduction, I presume some repros are better than others, is there a good way of identifying one from tother?

Almost certainly a repro.
If it was done recently here in UK, then most likely an Accumounts bracket given their availability, although there are some eastern european made one floating around as well, but I have no idea how to tell the repros from each other.
The best repro mounts were made by Robert Spielauer but he stopped making his repro's about 3/4 years ago now. He wrote what is probably the definitive book on the WW2 German sniper scopes and mounts, but again, its now out of print and very hard to find a copy.......although, it is still available in a Kindle electronic format from Amazon if you have a Kindle.
