Yes, all Swiss have a grip safety.

Thanks so much for the photos. I am still at a bit of a loss to confidently identify it. But my best guess is that it is a Type III Commercial or Swiss Long Frame that has been faced back and re-numbered to match the short 1913 military receiver. The barrel appears to be Swiss that has been modified as I suggested, long threads shortened and rechambered. That is the only scenario that I can come up with and it appears to be well done...not a bubba modification.
