What scope/base mount's to it? I've never seen one with a mounted scope.

There used to be a "Type 89" available with the old Navy Arms imports. Keng's Firearms Specialties in Georgia had them as well. And,I am reasonably certain that many PSO type mounts and optics could be adapted.
The best of the breed for these,were probably that old Navy Arms 2.75 power Type 89-one piece scope and mount combo. Another option would be some of the ZRAK mount/scope combos purpose built/adapted to the M59&M59/66A1 as an " urban sniper/DMR"

I'm pretty sure I bought this one from Keng's. I bought ammunition from them, too. I spoke to an Oriental gentlemen from there about whether the ammunition was corrosive or not. Long tome ago.

Too bad, because I owned a G.I. one that worked fine but I had no chance of bringing it back to the U.S.

The universals were pretty widely known to be twitchy. They weren't mil-spec and sometimes even GI magazines wouldn't work in them. Never owned one; the two I bought were re-imported surplus made in (iirc) 1947 and 1949.
