I wish I could trace it back to the person who did all the work to it! So I could beat them over the head and ask why in the world they would screw up history!

I would agree with that if someone were going to modify a pristine (or good condition) milsurp, TODAY. 40-60 years ago, it was a totally different story. The guns were cheap, common as dirt, and in the case of the Jap ones, really difficult to find ammo for.
I have sporterized Arisakas, Mausers, Springfields, even a sporterized Norwegian Krag (6.5x55mm). That one is a real shame, today. But 70 or 80+ some years ago when it was done, they made a really nice rifle.
The three intelocking rings is a Krupp symbol. Also a Japanese arsenal mark (Nagoya, I think), and was also used by a beer company back in the 60s, although I no longer recall which one.
