The actions are different. The 24/47 is like its copy, the Yugo M48; it has a shorter action and a different bolt face and breeching than the standard Model 98 Mauser action as on the K.98k and Czech VZ-24.
I agree with the comments on Mitchell's. Their K.98k's are worked over and nice looking but without much collector value as they are heavily buffed and reblued, with polished bolts and refinished stocks. They also have claimed that the M48 is WWII, was used by Germany, and has historical value, none of which is true. (They even cite the Yugoslav crest with "1943" to "prove" that the guns are from WWII; that is like proving that the dollar bill in your wallet was printed in 1776 because that date is on it. If that is not deceptive advertising, I don't know what is.)
