Is this the same gun as a 15-2 and I've just overlooked reference to that notation in this forum?

Does it have a porkchop shroud?  I can't tell on my phone.  It looks like a 15 witha porkchop to me.  I have one marked 15B and it's a porker.  Predecessor to the 15-2.

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

Looks like a Model 15 (no dash) to me (large rear sight, porkchop shroud).

Yes, porkchop I had only seen reference here to 15-2 previously, not 15-B. Should I expect it to be identical to a -2 excluding the -B stamping mark?

Obviously this one also has an aftermarket grip.

No this is not identical to the -2 as that uses non-porkchop shrouds.  The cylinder on porkchop'd shrouded models is held in place by the shroud.  You can't interchange shrouds directly, but you can use one of these on your model with a non-porkchop shroud --> http://www.ewkarms.com/zen8/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=67_12&products_id=223 , however there may be POA-POI issues because of different sight heights (front and rear).
