I believe the 32” barrels are original to the gun, based on the June 1877 entry indicating 1-10-32, to means a “10b 32” barrels.”

The 2 on the lug is on the 28” barrel set, which is a 10b with a brass lining bringing to a 12b.

Ok then the 28” barrels were the added set, but that doesn’t explain the 32” set that are shown as being fitted to the gun at a cost of $30…

I think you might be right. But why 2 sets of 32” 10b barrels? Different chokes I assume? One more long range vs something closer? Waterfowl vs pointing dogs?

I think the second set was explained by the 12 gauge liner.
