Bakes,
No---the 1908 Brazil is a LR and the '93 is a SR.......Regret I couldn't respond sooner.

Thanks John.
Another question: Would the Brazilian be suitable for a 9.3x64? Is it long enough?

A general response regarding the 9.3x64:

When Brenneke invented the cartridge, prior to WWI, it was considered acceptable for use in any standard length-large ring model 98. However, this was with period powders.

With today's improved powders, it is generally considered a better option to use model 98's made in Germany after 1934 or in Czechoslovakia after 1924, to take advantage of better metallurgy. (Germany has a later date because that country was in a terrible economic depression between the World Wars). It is also risky to use receivers made in Germany in 1944 and early 1945.

The action is marked 1908. I can get hold of a VZ24 action, perhaps thats the way to go.

The model number only indicates the year of design and contract, the exact year of manufacture should be stamped elsewhere. Anyhow, I think the VZ-24 is a better choice for the 9.3x64, assuming it does not suffer any individual deffects. Save the 1908 for a standard size cartridge.

As a side note, any reservations do not apply to the Oberndorf Commercial mausers made between 1898 and 1935. These were hand picked receivers and are completely safe in their original chamberings, regardless of size.
