Could also have been an Austrian conversion...
Some of the early Austrian conversions had sight protectors added. Both photos are from Manowars' Hungarian Weapons Pages. The first photo (all steel protectors) are two variants of an M31, the brass front sight protector is on one of my Austrian converted M95 rifles.
The altered sling swivels are another matter, but I've not seen anything like what you've described. makes me lean torward an M31...
