In order to signify conversion to the new hammer block safety, the S would have to appear on the sideplate (by the back screw) and on the butt (by the V).
Elsewhere, like in your description, the S is a service department mark that means the stamped part needed repair before the gun shipped.
A relatively high percentage of Victorys did not pass final inspection the first time, and they have these on various parts.
