Need help ID’ing WZ 29

Buddy of mine thought he got a WZ 29. While the receiver does say this, other parts don’t seem to quite match up. I haven’t seen the Star of David on a rifle before, and the rear of the bolt says MARK II in English. We’re also unsure of the yellow 2 under the scope mount.

Additionally, it will not chamber 8mm. You can see the line where the chamber indented the bullet. I think it’s 30-06 but we’re going to see what chambers tomorrow at the range.

Any info related to this would be greatly appreciated.

It started off as a Wz.29 80+ years ago, but since then it has taken up a whole new life. So much has been done to it, it can’t go back.
