Don, I am not trying to be difficult, but it is from TWO DIFFERENT GUNS ...
You can't say for sure what or why the sear safety was removed.
If one of the owners did not have the sideplate and it had a sear safety, you could see the owner taking the sear safety off, otherwise it would be all wonky.
Patrick , mismatched guns are good guesses but hard to say for sure?
