Never have put a red dot on a pistol, so the mount patterns are a bit confusing.

What do I have here on this budget, aftermarket G17 slide?

Is this just the basis for an adapter or a dedicated footprint that I have yet to find online.

Much appreciated.

Looks like RMR to me.

Anyone else wanna take a shot at it before I journey out to the gun shop?

Also looks RMR, but without the front lugs. Unless your optic is really snug in the cut itself, this is not an ideal setup as all the stress is placed on the mounting screws, which aren’t so much designed to withstand the lateral shearing force.

Thanks, it's the lack of any lugs that's throwing me a curve ball.

Aim Surplus slides are like that, as well as a few other cheaper options.

I had an RMR cut into my 1911 that looks exactly like that.
