Sounds like one of thousands of Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) mixmaster rebuilds. They rebuilt guns in batches - disassemble, inspect, repair as needed (including replacing needed parts), sandblast, repark, oil, reassembly, test fire, and package. They didn't care what slide went on what receiver, just as long as it was serviceable and it functioned.
