The primary thing that makes a skeet gun a skeet gun is the skeet chokes. The other features like forend style, grip style, rib style, butt treatment and trigger are options based on the users preference. But the stereotypical skeet gun would be a btfe, straight stock, checkered butt and single trigger.
When looking at supposed skeet guns, be super careful to document as there are a good amount of fakes out there.

I was looking at a Remington gun that shows the extras on ejectors and the single trigger, but doesn't show the beavertail forend. I've only seen pics, but the wood looks right. The barrels aren't marked Skeet In/Out either.

The barrels should be marked skt in/ skt out IF it's an original skeet gun. I have also seen made up skeet guns so marked.
At one time I had a GHE 16 that was "skeet configured" 26 inch barrels, PG, SST, BTF and checkered butt. It was not a skeet gun however. If you can post some pictures here you will probably get more help.

To your point Mr. Irvin, of the few Remington IBM cards I've seen, none of them mention forend style or grip style at all - and a couple of them are ordered by famous skeet shooters like D Lee Braun. Another that comes to mind is an AAHE with 30" barrels with Vent Rib and single trigger that one would suppose was ordered as a dedicated trap gun but still no mention of the forend style nor the grip style and whether it had a skeleton butt plate or a pad.....
In fact, there isn't even a space on the IBM cards for those options. .
