Years ago, I could have bought a GH locally that had very different trigger plate engraving and I kick myself to this day for not doing so when I had the chance.
We've all been there and I could find that place in the dark.

Even a G would have had 'wedding rings' so you're probably correct about filing to fit. That said, the annular rings around the firing pins on the breech face show no signs of a different frame size barrel, with firing pin spacing being different. Not sure when the 11/2 frame came out, but I suppose it's possible they were later 11/2 frame barrels put on a 1 frame gun. I've seen plenty of variation between bolster width within the same size frame, as much as a sixteenth.
As many have said, the trigger plate is enough to make me take on another red headed stepchild.
