Is the barrel hood the extension(s) of the barrel at the breech end? The two c shaped projections that almost surround the breach?

Yes, the barrel hood is part of the barrel that projects to the rear and assists in feeding and aligning the bolt when the rifle is in battery. There are no C-shaped pieces, the circular piece is the rear end of the barrel and there is a notch cut in it. The notch, on the ejection port side of the rear of the barrel, is the extractor notch.
