I have never seen these markings before. Are they Japanese markings on a contract K98? I'm sure someone here knows what they are.

I think Chinese or Chinese contract...not at home so I can't check Backbone if they are Japanese, they do look a bit mum like...
 
I came across this rifle and never seen these markings. This Mauser is in rough shape and been through a lot, it is also import stamped. Are they rare? I'm sure you guys that goes to the big gun shows might have seen them.
 
It's Chinese contract K98k, typical number block and was assembled in 1939. Some of these rifles got diverted to the Kriegsmarine.
