It's in the right era for a Skeet Gun, Serialization book shows extras #14 along with SG and 26" tubes. Both choke markings certainly appear to be double struck indicating to me it was deliberate. As far as the pad goes trap and skeet guns are not one size fits all, perhaps someone took it to LDG & Son and add them change the LOP and they added a pad. If it helps ask them to measure the choke constriction, my GHE Skeet is .004 and .007.
I am guessing the new shed is going to have to wait on this gun :-)
