That's right Jack. Everything I've read so far on Smith's is that all frames left the factory case colored regardless of grade and moreover except for the very highest of grades, the internals were same for all grades. The finish work on some internal mechanisims might have been better on the higher grades but mechanically they all operated the same way.
Case colored side plates were the hallmark of LC Smith. (and their design configuration)
