I couldn't find that thread you're talking about... sorry, probably just me being blind again.
And yes, I know not all of them are Sweet Sixteens, and this one isn't, for the obvious reason that it doesn't have sweet sixteen printed anywhere, and no golden trigger etc.
After checking the serial number, it seems to be from around 1954-5, and It has a sliding trigger, forward is shoot, rearward is safe. Also, I actually can't find the chamber size printed anywhere, I just assumed that it was 2-3/4 because it seemed to be the standard chamber.

And there is a different number on the inside of the fore grip, if that means anything.
Pictures:
What I *think* is the serial number, but I've heard it's confusing to find sometimes...

Barrel extension:

The bolt:
