Here is a plebe question. I recently acquired a 3 frame TA Damascus 10, in the 58,000 range with heavy barrels. Is it a given that it is a short 10? Or were there 10’s of that era meant to shoot the big stuff?

It should be a short ten. There were longer chambers on a few. But the extra length was for wads to improve the pattern. Not to shoot Roman candles in them

Take a steel machinist's rule and measure the chambers. There's a very good possibility, probability yet, that the chambers have the rim at the front of the chamber rather than a forcing cone.

but still- even if the chambers are longer - the pressures it was designed for were not higher.
the modern 3 1/2 was introduced about 1932

I killed two nice Canadas last evening with a wonderful but well used EH. RST Bismuth #2s hammered them. One was about 45 yds, the other about 35. They just folded up and were DOA upon impact. Unfortunately it was not a double. I was very lucky on both shots. Now if I can just figure out how to post pictures.
