Due to my inability to read or to make inquires before buying, I've acquired a few Stith mounts and the unofficially label Stith Expert (unpert would be more-better). Thus, I'll expose more of my ignorance for the sake of education. (I couldn't even find any help in Stroebel's old scope book - must be missing something.) Nevertheless, I'm sure there are many knowledgeable folks out there who know more about these then I am ever going to learn....
In my OP, the fourth photo shows my extra Stith parts and that the front mount won't work for my Weaver K4s.... Got to thinking, with those extra parts maybe a little comparing would reveal something, even to a blind hog (DUH!) unpert for sure!
Cleverly stamped on the back of 2 of my 3 rear mounts is F3A 3.36" long and F4A 3.52" long (both with spacers inside to fit a 1" tube), the 3rd is no marked. When I switched rear mounts to the longer one, the K4 "L" w/ 1.36" bell matched up far better with an unmarked but correct size front mount. The front elevation of the scope seems a bit high vs. running parallel with the barrel, but will sight it in and see if it works. The apparent matched front mount, marked F4, is for a scope with 1.5" bell, which I do not have. (Joe, appreciate your offer of a different front mount, may still need it.)

On the other hand, as indicated by the first photo in my OP the 7/8" Alaskan scope fit perfectly with the both unmarked 7/8" Stith mounts (again spacer in the rear), leaving it visibly parallel with the barrel. (Great buy Joe, are you that lucky or do you know something?) Will also be FORCED (sigh) to go shooting and sight this one in - once it stops raining! (Of course, the rains don't start here until Nov/Dec. Not that I'm complaining but isn't this like Oct? Rain? We are still flood irrigating - probably will today IN the rain!)
Bottom line, it appears that I may have been lucky with so few parts (so far) - as getting the correct Stith mounts for the correct scope is a matter of collecting parts until you get a match that sights in! Then QUIT buying holey rifles and sell off the parts to the next sap so he can become an Unpert!

Your pictures sure come thought very clear. Maybe we can get the thread that you are suggesting if we sweet talk our Texas buddy. 
There appears to be a wide variety of scopes that were put on the springpoles. I have a hard time getting use to the offset but I don't use it that often and that is probably the reason.
I would like to see the mount that goes on the rifle that had 14 holes in the receiver. 
That scope must be one heavy son-of-a-gun.
