There was only one Field Grade made with a beavertail, plus the Longrange/Wildfowl model did not come out until 1923. The only way to tell if original would be to take the metal from the for-end wood and see if the serial number is on the end where the knuckle is.
As to your last statement, only when viewed from a bunk bed.
