Yep!
First year production.
So back to your magazine question: Those metal floorplate magazines would be the type that were originally shipped with your early production 4506.

ETA: Would you believe that my own Model 4506 has a TCF85XX serial number too. Date on the box is December 28, 1988... so it is possible that your Model 4506 was really a very early-1989 gun (officially speaking!).
Note that my own 4506 came with the rubber-padded metal baseplate magazines as shown in the photo above.
