Default Odd markings on DUV 41 Mauser

No import markings, all waffen amps intact, mismatched, strange triangle with B above the DUV re-serial numbered begaing with R on the right side of the receiver. Has sling swivels added one in front welded. I just purchased this for $400 any information would be REALLY helpful I would love to know where this has been!

It's a post-war "capture" reissue rifle. Can't remember who had that particular mark off the top of my head, but it's been posted before on gunboards. The sling attachment weld is a dead similarity. Ugh, maybe Hungarian, Yugo or CZ. Can't remember off the top of my head. But a definite post-war eastern bloc rework.

Thanks for the reply, I figured it was a capture rifle almost certain the stock is Czech.
I'm just dying to know what country for sure the receiver is.

Hungarian police markings, from 1946-48 period.
"R" means Rendőrség (Police).

Would that included the B Triangle marking on the receiver?
