Probably someone wanted to turn that rifle into a sporter and so they removed the manufacturer's marking which they thought "marred" the appearance of the gun. That sounds silly, but it was common thinking at one time. Some of those rifles were made in Germany and had the manufacturer's name on the left side of the receiver, but it looks like that one has only the serial number in that location.
