Evidently, the magazine cover was modified as part of the "sporterizing" process. Some of the old-time gunsmiths did this - it reduces capacity to 3 or 4 but gets rid of the boxy projection. All US Krags had the "down" motion originally. There were many ways of making the alteration - pics should prove interesting.
