I can't identify the markings but what is the bolt face size? It could be a Siamese Mauser. They were chambered for some type of rimmed cartridge and I have often seen them rebarreled to the 45-70. Have one here right now I have to change the bolt handle on and the "crest is covered by the scope mount. It is a 45-70.

Looks like a Siamese Mauser

The original caliber was 8x50Rmm using a 237 grain bullet and in 1923 was changed to 8x52Rmm using a 181 grain bullet. Hope this helps. All the best...
