your markings seem to indicate a trip back to the factory in 63 for refinishing. The R N indicates it was refinished to nickle, and it is a good possibility the factory fitted the 5" barrel. Unfortunately, work orders are next to impossible to get so one can only speculate, but I believe 1963 would have been in the era when H H Harris was having 5" guns made up.

Is your front sight still blue??? Pictures would be nice.

BTW
