I went back to the gun shop and took some better pictures of the gun. Terrible lighting in the shop... the only pictures that came out well were the ones I took with a flash.
The border engraving at the breech end of the barrels is quite apparent and the muzzles appear to be uncut.
I finally understand that the L.C. Smith Trap Model is actually the grade and not necessarily the type of shooting that gun was intended to be used for.
Also, in looking closer at the engraving on the left lock plate the shooters are shooting trap and rather than being in a squad are actually at the ready in their positions at the line and the little house in the distance is more likely the trap house.
Nonetheless, it is a very nice little twenty that would be ideal for skeet and upland birds.
