Yes, the Smith and Wesson model 41/46 rim-fire auto loaders did originally use one of the many BOMAR rear sights. However that one is not the same sight as pictured on your rib.

Your sight is closer (but not identical) to the BOMAR sight that was used as the OEM sight on the Smith and Wesson Model 52 Center-fire auto loaders
