for the sake of discussion, is it a 1911, or is it a 1911A1

Judging by the SN, 7 digits, 1.5 million, it cannot be a 1911, if that SN is correct. It would most likely be a 1944 1911A1 but it could have been made by Colt, Remington Rand or Ithaca. That SN would eliminate both Singer and US & S.
It may be impossible to tell who made it unless we get a clear pic of the SN. The slide and other parts could be from all different makers. All I can say is that it is definitely WWII era and definitely a 1911A1 given the SN.
Remington Rand was assigned the 1.5 million serial number block. Perhaps that was the maker.
