Question about 1934 s/147 bolt

Hello,
I have a rife that I believe to be a French capture. And I was curious about why the bolt is missing the guiding lug on the top. I have tried to insert bolts from my other k98's into this rifle and they will not lock down fully into the rifle. I have some pictures included and was just curious as to what exactly I have here as I got it for a pretty cheap price and the rifle is functional. Thanks for any info I appreciate it very much as I am not the most knowledgeable.

This is a late 1944 thru early 1945 simplified bolt called a Kriegsmodell style. You probably should check the headspace before you shoot it as it is obviously not the bolt it was given from the original manufacturer!:facepalm: The stock has definitely been modified postwar by the French and the bolt is quite likely assembled by them.
