I know we will never know but is fun to speculate. :P
??? I'm confused? The rear sight is the update? It isn't the original flat sight?

Fantastic rifle by the way!
On a 1917, the curved Konavolov rear sight would have been original manufacture. But you knew that! :D

Methinks, Lee was referring to the Finn addition of metric graduations in terms of the update.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

Ok, that clears it up. I was thinking you were referring to the flat sight because of the 1901 receiver. That is why I wasn't following. And yes Martin, I am aware that a 1917 would have been made with the 1908 upgrades. ;mywink;
