I've solved the sight issue (attachments definition missing) and now also added the conversion to JA2/UC Hybrid. I also converted the Wildey Survivor into a Webley & Scott 455 Mk IV with 6" barrel, created a new .455 ammo calibre and a new ammo type - "Manstopper" just for the 455 (with a nice distinctive purple colour to distinquish it from Red AP, Blue hollow point etc). Dumb question you are editing the xml files in the Ja2\Data-1.13\TableData folder? except for the impitemchoice file in \Inventory.
I had terrible trouble isolating its non-appearance which I solved only by reverting one of the series of entries I can't remember which) back to vanilla JA2 1.13 and then reediting it. I would have it selectable in the IMP generation scheme but not appear in game.
I would add an extra item choice for you to select (a belt of AP/FMJ) for your IMP and if you "buy" a box of that and it appears but the gun does not then we had the same issue. FWIW BRs will not stock new weapons or ammo until you start a new game. Also the primary index number in each list must be in order or it won't work reliably. I use XML notepad and Notepad++ interchangeably to do my editing. I would use the next free index (rather than an NADA item) in case something in-game calls that NADA item.

I'm going to assume that ammo type 46 comes in single, 50 box, 100 belt [your new magazine size] and 2500 crate. By default there is also a mag type [0] of 8 rounds (presumably for the Garand). I do not know if that is the issue. The Mauser 98K uses a 5 round mag type 1 so there is no conflict for 7.92x57. See if you can at least get a belt (of AP/FMJ) to appear as purchasable in IMP generation and let me know. Vague chance that commonality in starting string in naming "Browning 1919" is an issue - I don't know if the game reads the whole string or just stops at a certain number of characters.
Let me know how you go.
