The magazine is the right era. Better if its numbered, even if it doesn't match.
You are right about the receiver serial number being covered up - I missed that it was covered up!
I also think the asking price is pretty fair.
You will want to make sure the grips are snug fitting.
The lack of wear on the barrel may be because it was depot replaced, but it is numbered correctly.
Overall, I also think it's original finish, but you really have to look it over in good lighting.
With the receiver removed, the insides should still be in the white, too.
The ears on the back of the frame almost always show a lot of machine marks, mostly circular.
But, the edges still look sharp and straight.
Heavy buffing usually thins out the acceptance stamps and rounds off the toggle edges.
I didn't see any of that.
