3) This 3" pistol has adjustable sights, were the 2213 and 2214 do not.
4) The front of the frame has remnants of the 6" 2206 lightening slot.
5) The front of the frame is rounded unlike any other 422/622/2213/2214/2206.
6) The texture of the bead blasting on the frame looks a little off.
7) The front sight doesn't match any other 22's or 3rd gens that I can tell.

All that being said, the way to be sure is with a letter; if it is truly a 3" 2206 you have yourself one rare pistol.

One thing I've discovered in building my own 3" full frame pistol is that the hole in the muzzle for the barrel is smaller in ID at the very end to keep the barrel centered. The only option for fixing this after the fact is to machine a bushing. Would be interesting to see what if any solution is used on the 2206 pictured. What strikes me is that since these pistols were CNC machined, I don't understand why they wouldn't just run the 2213/2214 program for the top half instead of cutting a larger pistol down.
Also as you indicate the rounding on the muzzle doesn't match the standard profile for any of the other pistols in the series, and they are all the same including the 2213/2214.
