OK, even though it is not in line with this thread, I mentioned a gun in my last post. Sure enough, my 12 gauge 28" IC and MOD Repro is not marked Steel Shot Special and has a standard 12 gauge serial number with no SSS added. Apparently my gun and those like it are a non-catalogued special gun (not special ordered) made for people who wanted an open bored gun with longer than 26" barrels. I don't know whether they were made in one batch or with random serial numbers. I do know that they are very scarce and fill a void in catalog offerings.
