I'd say there's about zero possibility it was staked like that at the factory, but in-field "adjustment" may be more plausible.
Either way it's a really nice one with great wood
So glad it was rescued from a shellacking.
Overall gorgeous; the only thing that stands out to me is how aggressively the rear sight is staked, to the point of marring the sight itself (GE-Q would be ok).
I"m no IBM expert, other makes I've seen use a simple round punch-mark for staking, not a big rectangular chisel, and not on all 4 corners.
According to the Larson book, it's almost at the end of IBM production and should probably have the Type II (milled) or III "IRCO" (stamped) adjustable rear sight.
