Yes, it's an Iranian Model 49
On the action body, from right to left:
Karabin namunah 1328 sakht eslihah-e sazi artesh
= Model 1328 Carbine made by the Army Arsenal.
At least, that's what it says in Lapin's book, and who am I to doubt it?
Note: 1328 in the post-1925 Iranian/Persian calendar =1328 +621 = 1949.

Try to find Winny/Rem 8mm ammunition. The short barrel makes for tough recoil.

I can only seem to find PPU ammo. I will keep my eye out for Winny/Rem 8mm

I have one in that condition and recoil would be an issue.
I think its about the same length as my G 33/40, and VZ 33.

Neither my 33/40 and the LE No. 5 were/are problematic as regards recoil. I just do not understand what the problem could be. I am now nearly 80 years old and have been shooting the LE No. 5 since I was about 18 and have never experienced a really heavy recoil (the only problem has been that I am now part deaf).
