Here's a pic of some more Jaeger stuff, mostly or maybe all postwar though. You can see that there are 3 different ring heights, all interchangeable or at least on my mounts they are. Notice that there are both steel and alloy rings and the ring widths/profiles vary even among rings made of the same material. The medium-ht alloy rings on the rifle have been spaced upward by thin washers to gain clearance for the larger eyepiece of the Leupold with lens caps while the low-ht steel rings have had long spacers (crudely unfinished) added to their bottoms to make them as high as the mediums.

The orphan rings are 7/8" (22mm). The base on the viewer's left is a round-backed one for the later mounts and the one on the right is a flat-backed one with the earlier toothed clamp-lock recess. Overall sizes, spring-lock recesses and dovetails are same-same with the clamp-locking recess shape being the only difference between the two.

All the Jaeger side mounts I've seen have had their stop studs mounted to the front ring so that the scope slides on from the front, but I usually switch it to the rear if possible, for an additional recoil support.

BTW some of the Jaeger rings (not the mounts or bases) appear identical in appearance & shape to some of the G&H rings; I wonder if they'll interchange?
