Not year marked, means 1 of 3 things;
Commerical
Sneak
PX gun
Not proofed
PX gun or the like, the roughness might point to put together right after the war from parts
Commerical with crown N buffed enough to be gone ~~ look VERY closely to see if there is remants of a crown N on left and right of receiver
receiver lug is cooincidence as they are numbered with worker numbers, and not with serials
I would say put together immediatly after the war ~~ by workers or GI's, not a PX gun as it would / I beleive should be marked, i.e. some kind of proof or marking? not really sure on this, but all indications point to put together gun, unless you find a crown N barely there...
