Yes, that 2 stamp is NOT original or correct. Besides, IF that set was 2 frame, they would not function properly on a 1-1/2 frame gun.
The gun is likely a 1-1/2 frame and so are those barrels. Maybe the stamping was very light or wiped out and for some reason a 2 got put on it. Maybe for 2nd set of barrels? Who knows.
As a sidebar. The gun is also a later factory restock. Done in the remington era. So, the gun has good solid wood on it.
