I note the following:

(1) The magazine cutoff has been replaced as you noted,
(2) The large bow trigger guard is not contemporary with the serial number,
(3) The finish on the buttplate looks unusual.

Hope this helps.

Mr. Beard, what is unusual about the butt plate finish? Looks to be oiled Parkerizing.

The original finish on a Smith-Corona buttplate was blue. A few Smith-Corona buttplates were parkerized, perhaps as an alternate finish when repair/rework was necessary. But those are rare.

Hope this helps.
