The 1950's 99R came factory d&t for scope mounts and sling eyes while the EG had neither at that time (d&t starting in 1955), but as far as receiver construction and barrels - they are identical.
In fact if you fitted 99R wood onto a factory d&t 99EG (or vice versa), nobody would be able to tell the difference.
