Did the factory ever round the bottom of N frame diamond target grips?

Never seen that from the factory. It would take only a few minutes, fine sandpaper, and "Tru Oil" or boiled linseed oil to do that though. Prior owners work!
I have a set of K frame grips just like that, maybe rounded a bit more. Whoever did the work did a fantastic job. It looks factory to me but I'm sure it isn't . I actually find Smith target grips a bit clunky. Rounding the bottom makes a surprising difference.
My "mystery gun" has similar grips, definitely not modified at the factory...But they are the original Magnas numbered to the frame, and been with the gun since it shipped April 21, 1953...

Dropped grips damaged, rounded off to eliminate the damage.

Truckman,
Your stocks are PC (plain clothes) Magnas. They did come from the factory that way. OPs question was specific to a slight radiussing of the corners of target stocks. This is a completely different thing. Usually seen only on K-Frame guns, the N-Frame PC Magna normally only appeared on the Models 58 and 520.
