I am not sure about the grips but the nickel plating does not appear to be original. Some of the photos show a dimpling that would not be there in a factory nickel finish. That is usually a sign of nickel plating over areas where rust has been removed chemically; the right side appears smooth, possibly because the gun had been rusted on only one side. Note that a refinish likely will not affect the safety or function of the gun in any way; it will affect the value on resale.
