You could have fooled me, in fact you did!

Evans certainly deserved points for effort with that affair. Quite futuristic for 1915, but the zero of course would wander with the weather and the failure to tie into at least the safety spring bolt is inexplicable. Does it really hang off just those two guard screws??

I wouldn't have thought the zero would wander any more than it would have on the Whitehead setup in all honesty.
The mount is secured in three places, two points are indeed on the trigger guard screws, the third possibly more secure point is achieved by removing and replacing the ejection screw below the charger bridge.

Ah yes, looking at the photos properly that becomes obvious! So the first of many such re-purposings of the ejector screw hole.
Yes, perhaps no more wandering zero than the Whitehead's, if that would be any consolation.
The more one sees of the others, the better Parker Hale's design looks. It was certainly the cheapest and easiest to fit, and if the rear screw point got displaced it would be easy to tell... And if they had tied into the backsight spring screwhole it would have been even stronger.
