From picture 233, it seems that your Grandfather's gun originally had the full length magazine tube, but it was shortened at some point in the gun's life, probably as a repair as others have suggested.
The rear tangent sight is interesting. I've never seen one of those on a Winchester 94. I know they were a factory option for many years, but I've never seen one mounted to a 94.
It appears that the sight slider is missing.
