The option code 2, in the serialization book does not confirm the originality of the BTFE, should be 10, but, the book isn't always correct. A PGCA research letter will very possibly provide additional information, such as possible returns to the factory for changes, etc.
Regardless, it is a valuable gun, and I'd caution you to get as much information as possible.
Detailed photos of the barrel flats may show even more exciting details.
I've had several 24" guns, including a 28ga., and they are magical in the woods.
