The grips would have been fitted so the customer could use them with or without the GA. SO far no S&WHF letters have been found with customers complaining "I took the GA off and the grips don't fit right" LOL Maybe a plausible explanation for the unnumbered grips is they were replaced (damage to originals), or it was simply ordered as an accessory, or somebody forgot to # them. If these danged things could only talk, they could do lots of 'splainin'  |
Differing is not a problem---I was (perhaps less than clearly) stating an opinion.
And far as who would know what when, the entirety of the production of an RM started with the receipt of the RM order form---at which time any and everybody involved knew perzactly what was to be what-----start to finish.
