My early G&H side mounts show no sign of welding, only well treated pins and screws, installed flush and nearly invisibly finished.

Sounds like what I have is not welded. Just a good fit.
Any thoughts on the markings?

Ones I have looked at, that were mounted by G&H, had the base soft-soldered on with taper pins and large head screws. The heads and pins were also soldered in place and all this was dressed down and then rust blued. Then the screws and taper pins were all but invisible. Generally the screws and pins could be seen inside in the broached lug ways, as these surfaces were polished bright after blue.
That is a nice looking rifle.

A close-up of the front ramp would pretty much tell if G&H did the work, as most used a ramp of their own mfg. I am sure there were exceptions, but...

This looks like a Sedgley ramp to me. Also, the barrel band mounting for the swivel base is what Sedgley routinely did.

I would really like to see some pictures of other forum members 54s. Especially G&H, Sedgley and others.

I have a M54 22 Hornet upgraded by G&H with a cheekpiece, scope mount, grip cap, and horn forearm tip. If I can prevail on some one here to post pictures, I'll forward them to him.
