Echoing Mark's comments, TPS lists the C grade guns on p. 298.
The above 30" 20ga with Titanic barrels is the only one made. There were 21 made with 30" Acme barrels.
The barrels of the poster's C are in poor shape, maybe they can be saved, maybe not, and its not possible to tell with the photos provided. Some barrels with rust pits have been saved in the past. The chicken coop 20ga D hammer was covered with a fine bloom of orange rust which was quickly removed. The only part with deep corrosion was the skeleton butt plate, which had to be ground to be fairly thin, then re-engraved. The B hammer had the sculpting on one bolster deeply corroded, which had weld material added. That area was not subject to stress.
