That is a really good looking gun. As Bill said, a mis-matched grip has never bothered me much (they broke and got replaced...I feel the same way about firing pins). I rather doubt that just the barrel and toggle train were refinished and the rest of the gun left as is. For some reason, probably due to the metallurgy, the bluing on the toggles and barrel seems to hold up better.
