I've seen this picture 100 times and always assumed it was an AI. Certainly an AI bolt handle and magnum muzzle break.
I clamped my scope mount on 15 years ago and never removed it, but I think the recess holes are for the old school factory AI scope mount. This was right around the time they introduced, and ultimately switched to, the picatinny rail on the action.
ETA: The more I think about it, I'm thinking of the Blaser LRS mount. It clamps into four little recessed tabs in the barrel. My AWSM is definitely pre-picatinny, but you're right. I don't think it has those holes. I'll have to dig it out later.
Pretty sure the cause was a plugged barrel. But owning a .338LM fluted barrel, and AI discontinuing the fluted barrels for an undisclosed reason, makes me a little nervous.

Did Subic to HK on a seagoing tug in Jan, 22 foot seas on the starboard quarter for days.
Not sure of the actual sea state but when my SSN got run out of Hong Kong by a typhoon we were navigating on the surface rigged for dive and getting 80 ft depth transits in control. Ops upper level head was a vomitorium. The everyone in maneuvering was puking in garbage bags. The RO started that party, his bag was clear. Subs roll like a turd. It was the longest maneuvering watch I ever endured. (Spent most of it on the floor in nucleonics)
The USS Proteus had a puk-o-meter on the wall in one of the shops. (Basically a bolt on a string for an angle indicator and color-coded angles)
Mom of NYC teen killed subway surfing speaks out: ‘the family is hurting’
The mother of 15-year-old Zackery Nazario, who was killed while subway surfing across the Williamsburg Bridge, said the family has been devasted.

many of the comments are comedy gold.
I just had to post this, could not resist.

Spent 2 days going thru Drake Passage in January. 40 ‘ waves made sleeping interesting. Not as bad as the guys in the 44’ sailboat that followed us across but took 4 days.
I blame PEX. It would take a skilled plumber to do this sort of work with soldered copper.
Lines run by a guy who watched a YouTube video that was made by a guy who never did this kind of installation before.
Nothing to it !
1. My longest non stop flight was from Coronado to Manama Bahrain.
2. While working in the bay there, one night there was a terrible storm. We had to get from the mouth of the bay, to the dock, about 6 miles away. You couldn’t see land, you could only see the next buoy light, but only when you were at the top of a swell. 3am, blinding rain, and we took a 14’ wave over the bow of a 22’ Boston Whaler. The Whaler had a diver door cutout (a 6’ section of side wall on the boat is removed) so when the wave broke over us and knocked us all down, the water was going out the side door and trying to take us with it. There were three of us in the boat, and everybody was grabbing everybody else and trying to hang on so nobody went out of the boat. We got up, and got her going and made it into the dock. It was odd, me and one of the guys pretty much hated each other’s guts, but after that night, we got along ok.

The flutes were discontinued because AI did testing and found that the groups not only opened up with a hot barrel as it does with thicker barrels.
But they found it randomly wandered as well
There is a article they put out years ago
IIRC that is a Steyr
ETA:
@Mister Ridge called it, is an AI AW50, can see the AI metal flats for QD hooks and the green plastic on the ground. There is a nearly identical photo of a fluted Steyr failing the same way out there.
