Will - Yes, that appears to be what I thought it was. The larger of the two sideplate screws appears to be missing. Also, it looks like the barrel may have been shortened after it left the factory. Except for a very small number of original special-order 2" barreled guns, the shortest standard barrel length was 3.25" and yours appears a good bit shorter than that. The other thing that suggests that is that the front sight should be pinned through the barrel rib and I don't see a pin in these photos.
