Anyone comment on the 2 cuts in the top rib on the 24(69mm) X 24(69mm) tubeset? What type of sighting platform?

Overall, never have I handled a pre-WWII Anson & Deeley Body Action(A&D) Borovlje Biks / Ferlacher Cape. Now I am the custodian of a hammergun in 24 X 500 Express but the Austro-Hungarian / Bohemian Hunters held hard & fast to tradition and they just didn't want to trust any platform but exposed hammers & a fixed Lefaucheux type forend fastner with a metal buttplate. Although they did cozy up to a removable forend maybe by WWI????
