Is this yoke bent, out of alignment, or just "normal wear"

Looking at an S&W up for auction. Attached is a cut from one of the pics in the listing. The areas that concern me are highlighted by red. To me they look like significant gaps when compared to my wife's new Model 632. (The first of many S&Ws I hope follow me hime.)

Asked the seller about this, but no response. There is a 3-day return option, but I'd rather not to hassle that.

I know it's very difficult to diagnose at a distance, but this all I've got.

Is there a spec for this fit?

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks.

That is quite normal, especially on later production. The yoke is set back a few thousandths behind the face of the frame to avoid inteference with the barrel. This is not a critical area, so there can be some variation. I seriously doubt there is a specification.
