Is a beveled forearm lug synonymous with a BT forearm? Or are there factory examples of a beveled lug onto a splintered forearm? I understand that beveled lugs were created for added strength with BT forearms.

You're mostly correct. The fore end lug is normally only soldered to the bottom rib, and the one-piece design eliminated the BT from pulling it off, since the BT was generally longer than the splinter fore end.

It’s a dog fellas, but quite the stock that appears original. Monte Carlo, Ball Grip and Silvers pad. My guess is it has quite a letter with it unless it was done at Rem, you can see the repair codes.

There is a Remington repair or service code stamped into the left barrel flat in an unusual location but it may be indicative of the replacement stock which had Remington style border to the checkering which is unlike the mullered borders of Parker Bros. while in Meriden CT. The contour of the Monte Carlo comb exactly replicates those done in Meriden.

The forearm wood appears to be VHE quality. The engraving protruding from under the safety slide and the stamped word SAFE indicates to me that 198418 started life as a no-safety gun. Wonder if Remington or the Miller brothers added the safety?

Similar aberations of this stock treatment are seen from time to time: while this comb riser appears to be of thin leather, two others have been seen from time to time that were made of cork. One was verfied as factory work, very nicely finished. If I recall correctly it was a CHE from the Meriden era. The other one I don't know about. But this is the first combination I have seen of the Monte Carlo style stock with a(n) additional comb riser, Miller trigger and a safety.
