The Serialization book lists it as a Trojan and Mearl indicates that the research letter also lists it as a Trojan. The question then is whether or not the frame was reshaped to resemble a B grade frame and engraved in a B style or just left as a Trojan style frame. I just doubt that someone would return a Trojan back to the factory for added engraving and fancier wood. I guess if the engraving looks like factory work, it could have been done by Runge.
Hopefully Mearl will contact me soon and we'll have a better idea what it is.
