Well, wingnut, it sounds like you have a "D" series in original Arctic Birch. The red color comes from the garnet tinted shellac. And the internal mag that is numbered to the gun is not considered a duckbill - just an original ten round internal mag. The duckbill is the aftermarket extended capacity version, and should be considered as an accessory only.

If it were mine, I would install the original mag, and keep the gun in un-tampered condition. That is ONE collectible gun in the SKS world. Congrats.
