According to Military Small Arms by Hogg and Weeks, it looks like a PzB 39 or Panzerbuchse Model 39. That box just to the front of the pistol grip is a five round "quick-loader" for rapid reloading.

Did a google..

I've got one of the high turret snipers like in the first 2 photos. Mine is a pre war 1936.
