1903 Springfield sporter scope mount help

[Southpaw]

I picked up this sporterized 1903 on the cheap, looks like Dec./42 Remington with a 8/44 SA barrel very sharp an shiny.

I just want to shoot this but having trouble finding scope mounts that might work on this oddball, from my research it looks like this is a transition rifle, late production Remington 1903s before transitioning to the 1903A3. The receiver cuts look similar to the 1903A3 but their very shallow and would not hold a rear peep.

I wish the previous owner would have left the mounts or the rear sight. But after I saw what early barrel mounted rear sights go for yikes!!!

Anyway, any help would be appreciated, being a old surplus guy, I really just want to shoot it for kicks, and then give it to one of my right handed sons, as being a lefty, my thumb doesn't work with the stock to well.

Check what appears to be a nursing calf artwork on the stock, maybe it was a ranchers large predator gun? IDK

Thanks, Southpaw

I have a sporterized scoped 1903 from sometime in the 1930's in my safe. It was my MIL's hunting rifle. If I get a chance later I will dig it out and photograph the mounts for you
