The last pic makes the rear grip strap look as though it never had a stock lug. Machining on a lugged frame removes metal that would be there on a slick-backed variation. This looks fully rounded, the material is there. I suppose it's possible that the area was welded back in and properly contoured when it was refinished, but it's also theoretically possible that the upper has been installed on a non-Arty frame.
