The Frank DeHass book, "Bolt Action Rifles" has a fairly good section on Husqvarna's.
They made, of course, the Military, small ring mauser pattern rifles for many years.
After WW2 they made sporters, using actions from FN in Belgium.
They they made their own actions, "FFV" I believe. For a while, Smith & Wesson sold them with the S&W name.
All the military small-ring actions had the "thumb-cut" in left side reciever to aid in using stripper clips, and all used a steel trigger guard assembly, without a hinged floorplate. That would be one way to eliminate what your are looking at as NOT being a sporterized military action.
If it is a large-ring reciever ( a noticable "swell" in diameter at the front round portion of the reciever,in front of the "walls" ), then it probably is an FN action. It should say FN or "made in Belgium" somewhere on action. The ones I have seen also had a steel trigger guard, without a hinged floorplate, and originally had a "swing" safety on the rear of the bolt ( shroud ).
The Huskqvarna action sporters I have seen had the side safety like you mention. They also were of the "Small-ring" variety, where there is no "swell" from the front ring where it meets the side of action. Like the swedish "small-ring" mausers, NOT like the large=ring '98 mausers.
Also, the Husqvarna built actions have an alloy trigger guard assembly, hinged floor-plate. They make for a very nice, light sporter. Look for more info on the reciever, maybe under the scope bases, and check the barrel for any marking.
Also, books that give gun values should have descriptions that might help you. I have never seen an info that gives year of make cross indexed to serial numbers, but you can probably narrow down what years it was made once you know what model you have.
