M1 Garand Question

I have an M1 Garand I inherited from my father, and i am trying to learn about it. I have checked this site:

http://www.northcapepubs.com/m1gar.htm

And I am using this spreadsheet to compile info on this weapon.

http://www.m1-garand-rifle.com/spreadsheet/

My receiver is SN is 2,102,XXX and the drawing number is D 6528291 43

In the spreadsheet, this serial number is not listed as a selection. In the website above, there is this passage

"the drawing number for the original M1 Receiver was D28921. The "D" indicated that the engineering drawing was done on a 22 by 34 sheet of paper and the number was a sequential value assigned to the part; the Alphanumeric designation served to identify both the part and its drawing in case a problem arose in manufacture or use and the part needed to be redesigned or in any other way altered. In succeeding years, as engineering and manufacturing changes were made to any part, the drawing number was modified by a sequential suffix, i.e., -1, -2 etc. The M1 receiver was altered 43 times during its period of manufacture.

Sub-contractors building the M1 were also required to follow this same practice. Those receivers manufactured by Winchester were marked either with the suffix "-2" or "WIN-13." Post-World War II Garands manufactured by outside contractors International Harvester and Harrington & Richardson used the part number "D652891-42" through "-N" and "652891" through "D-652891-E."

*Note that my drawing number does not quite match the IH and H&R drawing numbers.

My fear, based on the fact that the drawing number is not listed in the spreadsheet, is that this may be one of the "dreaded" rewelds, but I looked at this site:

http://fulton-armory.com/%5Cfaqs%5CM1G-FAQs%5CWeld.htm

And I can find no evidence of rewelding.

Assuming for the moment that this is NOT a welded receiver, is it typical for the receiver to be labeled "Springfield Armory", but to have been built by either IH or H&R, as Joe Poyer and Craig Riesch's site MIGHT seem to indicate?

Maybe you have the M1 Garand Serial Numbers and Data Sheets? I have included a couple of photos of the receiver.

Thanks in advance for your help :o)

Steven,
Post a question on Culver's Forum (http://www.jouster.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?3-M1-Garand-M14-M1A) - this is the home of the Big Kahunas of the Garand world. It looks like a reweld to me, but never say never & don't make absolute statements, unless it's to say absolutely don't say never and absolutely don't etc etc... :cool:

(Feel free to PM me if you would like to ask any other questions on a 1 to 1 basis)

It's not unusual for a Garand with a Springfield receiver to show a wide mix of other parts from Winchester, HRA, or IHC, or even Beretta. Most of these guns that were used in service or in training have been rebuilt or refinished, sometimes several times over their lifetimes.
The only time I'd be worried about something like a rewelded receiver is if the numbers on the front and rear of the receiver didn't match, or if the rear says Srpingfield Armory, but the drawing number on the front says W.R.A.
