I have a "1916" Spanish Mauser I would like to scope, and was wondering if a mount for the 1896 that replaces the rear sight would work on this 1893 pattern rifle.

I know there are differences between 1893 and 1896 Mausers, but did they change the rear sight? I've looked at B-Square and S & K mounts, but would rather try this one:
