My 138000 later 20-gauge 26-inch VH-Grade has barrels with a 3 weight stamp. We need to see a picture of the muzzle end of the top rib. Also, a side quartering view of the breech end of the barrels to see if the gun was fitted with the post-1910 replaceable bolt plate when it was to Ilion in 1940.

The recoil pad is a White Line from Pachmayr Gun Works in Los Angeles. Here are the pics you discussed. Let me know if it shows you what you need.
