Its been years since I shot it , I hunted with it for many years but not for the past ten . I have never shot it with the scope I was afraid of ruining it .

There was a W&S scoped WWII sniper of the P.14 Enfield which used the Canadian W&S M1913 type scope, but have never seen a M1917 with that scope. However, it's interesting since basically the M1917 has identical rear sight protection ears and I have always been wondering whether they modified the P.14 rifle to be able to mount the Canadian W&S scope.
Compare those pictures to your rifle. Note that the rail on this rifle is different from your rail, which appears to be a M1903 rifle rail. However, can you post an additional picture of your rail showing it from the left side, without the scope being mounted?
Here are some pics of the left side, no scope . You can see that the ear has been milled off .
