Box label question for 4006

[DUSTYDOGDAN]

I have a really nice 3RD Gen 4006 with adjustable sights.
It came with the original box and papers but the label has FS under the features area. My other 3RD Gens with adjustable sights has AS under features and another has AS AMSF.
Did someone buy a different slide and put the adjustable sight slide on it?
Could S&W have made a mistake when making the label?
This really looks to have been a low round count pistol. I am not able to talk with the original buyer or the previous owners.
Any help will be appreciated.

Here is a photo of the label in question.

On page 339 of SCSW 4th edition:

FS for "Stainless Frame"
SF for "Fixed Sights"
AS for "Adjustable Sights"

FS and SF does seem backwards from what they represent, but that is what it is in the book.

OK, Thanks for taking the time to look this up. I am really thinking someone switched the slide out on this 4006.

4006 Product Numbers I have seen as follow:
104400 Adjustable Sights
104402 Fixed Novak Sights
104403 Night Sights
Have also seen 1 x 104402 with Adj Sights and CT Laser Grip, believed to have had slide swapped to get Adj Sights

OK this helps even more I think. This pistol in question did in fact have the CT Laser Grips on it when I bought it. I took them off and and haven't decided what to do with them. I have seen the model 410S come with the CT Laser Grip from the factory but never the 4006. So be clear do you think S&W did in fact put the CT Laser Grips on the 4006 as well? Thanks for all the help everyone.

I would assume the previous owner changed slide and put the CT grips on it. I believe slide would have to be changed for adj sights - cut is different from Novak sights. Otherwise, box end would be marked somehow. Dont think any of the 40xx or 59xx came with laser sights. I have an early 5904 with adj sights and CT installed by previous owner.
