I can't see the SN# on the 1006 but it sure looks like the prototype in the article I mentioned. Even has the old style metal base magazine with a rubber bumper on the bottom, just like the prototype's. I'm not aware of any production 3rd Gens that came with that type of butt plate.

In fact, that same picture (your's), of both a 4506 & 1006, is in a Oct-1989 article in Handguns magazine with another close-up showing the X487 serial number.
