The frame appears in the pics to not be dead flush with the front end of the barrel extension. And the flat surface does look a little rough, and this helps reveal that the numbers were stamped after the surface was finish ground. Is the grinding rough enough to make it suspect? The blend into the radius below looks pretty smooth to me, though, which tips the scale back towards original. Grinding to allow re-stamping usually alters the smooth tangential transition of surfaces in this area. I do not have enough experience to make a call on whether the upper/frame offset is big enough to make a difference. I'm curious, too, John!
