Maybe I missed something. It appears that photograph 2 shows the left receiver with a Navy crown and two C/Ms. Photograph 5 shows the standard three acceptance stamps and a test proof used by the Army on the right receiver. The frame serial number in photograph 5 is 3245 which is consistent with the parts serial numbers of 45 in the other photographs.
If I have not made a mistake, your photographs show a receiver with Navy proofs on the left side and Army proofs on the right side. Have never observed such an Army/Navy receiver.
Thanks for the interesting photographs.
