That would be my recommendation, too. A change from 2” to 4” does indeed make little to no sense, especially when everything looks original. I know that there are more OSS-shipped guns in that general serial range from late summer 1944. I’ve seen letters, all 4-inchers if I recall correctly, so you want to eliminate the chance of a typo first.
