A 1 1/2 frame and a 2 frame both have 1 1/8 inch firing pin spacing.
It appears to me that the barrels with the 2 on the lug are the original barrels for the gun. There is a Remington repair code stamped on the left barrel flat to the right of the oval with the JG. Looks like BJ3 (January 1940) but the photo pixilates badly when enlarged.
The barrels with the 1 1/2 on the lug appear to be late Remington barrels and the forearm is wider at the tip in the late style. These barrels probably added by Remington at the time of the restock. They also appear to have the BJ3 repair code.
Too bad the seller doesn't give us a few more pictures like the inside of the forearms and the forearm loop on the barrels and the serial number on the side of the barrel lug on the earlier barrels.
