Pictures are to fuzzy to read anything. What are the proof marks on the barrels. the one thing I can tell is the extractors are missing.
After the first shot the rest are just noise. Make mine a Minaska Heaven has walls and rules, H-ll has open borders

From what I can read it is a set of rifled 20ga Belgium o/u barrels made in 1954. Looks like it might have been built to hunt boar with slugs.
Here is the Belgium proof mark guide.

They also have 3" chambers, Erich. They look a bit rough, not great craftsmanship, almost like a Baikal. I think they're later production. 3" 20 gauge guns were introduced in 1954 by Winchester and were not common until about 1958...blossomed in 1960's.

Interesting that the chamber length is marked at 75mm instead of 76.

the barrels are both rifled, and 7m/m a 307 winchester case will not chamber and the rim is too big. no markings on the top.

Time to go over to Double gun and get some real experts on Belgium guns look at the pics. It then looks like someone converted a set of shotgun barrels into a double rifle, not unheard of. Also time to do a chamber cast to determine cartridge.
