Now that I'm in this deep it gets a bit more interesting. Seems like there were left-side screws for both sliding and rotary extractors, but not all of them and the screw is in a different position for each.

Bill, it seems that Frank Sellers once wrote an article for an unknown magazine entitled "The Feuding Gunsmiths of Denver". It that article there is the model for your rifle. Gove made a rifle exactly like yours. Same caliber, same nose piece on the keyed forearm. Same straight grip stock, with grip and forearm panels, curved butt, double triggers, and octagon top, with the underlever that looks just like yours. Unfortunately, the article is detached from the magazine, so I can't tell you where it came from, but the photos are unmistakable. Haugh was using that as his blueprint.
