Interesting! I too have a 3 screw nickel mdl. 18-2. Mine started life as a blue gun belonging to a friend many years ago. He sent it back to Smith and had it nickeled.
On a long ago rabbit hunt I offered to swap him my. 45 commander for it. He agreed so we unbuckled and swapped guns and holsters in the woods. It came with smooth rosewood S&W target grips. I later added a smooth target trigger and hammer and RR/WO sights.
So the one you found is probably not original but was sent back like mine and refinished.
