It appears to be up and down a bit. The trigger guard seems to be a bit earlier than it should be. The rest except the rear sight and barrel seem to be about correct. Even the stock stayed put. Naturally it would have been rebarreled after WW2, the corrosive ammo of the time would have seen to that. Yes the barrel could have been put on any time but odds are not. It would have been an earlier date to go to Korea. 52' seems late. Normally for a rebuild there should be an arsenal mark but I don't know why there isn't. It does sound like a good piece for you however.

I think those numbers indicate the barrel was made then. Like 65 or 66, late anyway. Sounds like the shooter you need to go with the collector. Most of us have something like that.
