Remington 870 TX

Guys,
I bought a 1962 870 TX with some issues. Stock is not "sungrain" so probably a "TB" or "TC" walnut. Its beautifully figured walnut but the wrist is all chewed up where it meets the receiver. For some reason someone shortened the nose such that the bearing plate was not providing any support.
The barrel is correct year, and is marked "mod" but was cut to 25.5". The back of the vent rib is unlike any Ive seen before. It's solid for the first few inches rather than vented. Is this the original barrel?
It has the gold trigger and pins. I think it should have a mag cap gold end but its plain blued.
