If Remington was marking them in the later days, could they be Remington replacements?
is there a repair code on the barrels?

It is rather "strange" that the ad from Winchester, gives the loads with DuPont Smokeless, New E.C. Improved and New Schultze in grains. They were all bulk smokeless powders and should have been given in drams. Fanning's load with Infallible, a dense smokeless powder, was correctly given in grains. It was actually a rather light load, as the loading companies offered up to 28-grains of Infallible pushing 1 1/4 ounces of shot from 2 3/4 inch and longer 12-gauge hulls.

This is the best conversion I've come up with, but may not be exact
..............'E.C.'......DuPont…....Schultz…..... ..Ballistite....Infallible 3 dram....42...........36.5............42........... ...24.............21 grains 3 1/4…...45.5.........41...............45............. .26.............23 3 1/2…...49............43...............48............ ..28.............25 http://books.google.com/books?id=97d...AJ&pg=PA57&lpg http://books.google.com/books?id=Wv0...J&pg=PA446&lpg Note that the Winchester loads include "New E.C. Improved" and "New Schultz"

That Winchester ad looks to be from 1906 by the date code at the bottom, well after Capt. A.W. Money had the blow up at Oakland Park, NJ, and Schultze and E.C. went to become products of Laflin & Rand. By 1905 L & R were advertising "New Schultze" and "New E.C. Improved". By January 1907, Laflin & Rand's "New E.C. Improved" and "New Schultze" were being advertised as a product of E.I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Company. Can we say monopoly??
