    The gas cylinder lock looks right to me; all WW2 locks have the beveled front edge. A Winchester lock & front sight will usually have a punch mark.

    We worry when all parts have the same finish, not when they vary. The gas cylinder is actually stainless steel painted black. I really don't know if Winchester supplied any spare barrels. Winchester barrels used in WW2 were not date stamped. But, the odds are against a Winchester replacement barrel getting installed on a Wincester receiver. Some rifles actually avoided combat, sparing them from corrosive ammo.
