The Ejectors could have been added at a later date by Parker Under a repair order. And even the BTFE could have been done as well. A letter might show this work. I find it hard to believe that they would have changed out the forend loop if a BTFE were added. That would be a bit of a task.
Either way, that forend iron is correct for a BTFE. I would think that if that forend wood were added by someone other than Parker/Remington, they would have just used the original splinter forend Iron.
I think info regarding those repair codes would shed some more light on this.
