Another question I have, as I do not own a Sauer HT or scope set to compare to MO examples, is either one of these mount sets interchangeable with MO bases/rings? If so, which set?

Yes as Brian pointed out Sauer used scopes (as I call them) usually fit on Mauser rifles fine. However, it can be tough to find a Mauser scope that fits well on a Sauer High Turret. I would guess that Sauer had tighter tolerances.
This really is interesting. Perhaps there was another supplier of parts. Was there another firm that was making these bases and small parts for Mauser and merely sent them to Sauer? Or are all the bases and rings on Sauer rifles in fact Mauser produced just not marked as such?
