For anyone else wise enough to go with a designated pistol lower, the only forged option over seen is mega
Not sure if serious, or trolling.
The SB-15 has intended use on a pistol, for use on pistols. The BATFE cannot legislate shooting positions used for firearms, but it is a legal component for installation on a pistol per their judgement.
Somebody unfamiliar with rulings shouldn't be making a felony stop, or if they do, you still own a pistol and are at most out the inconvenience, frankly nothing relevant about that.
Whatever they look like, an AR pistol configured as an AR pistol is - a pistol. SBR specifically refers to an NFA weapon built on a Form 1 (often transferred over a Form3, but all SBRs have a Form 1 somewhere in the past), so the term in this context has a precise definition you're using incorrectly.
If you're still worried, you'll be hard pressed to have a better excuse to throw on some custom awesome engraving along with adding engraving with PISTOL in enormous letters if that helps, hell, make a 80% upper and add that yourself. The markings peculiar to a given lower receiver only have any relevance whatsoever if this is an NFA item, otherwise any stripped lower works fine. If you're worried about somebody ignorant assuming you have an SBR, then don't put anything on it that looks like a weapon a free state resident with $200 and some patience would own.

Not to derail:
I do agree that some LEO's are unaware of even state gun laws. I was pulled over and told that the G19 under my seat was an "illegally concealed weapon".
OP:
I believe that the SB-15 must be installed on a Pistol Tube. Therefore, no it can not be used on an A5 extension.
Furthermore, I think the use of a Pistol Tube (vs. a bare receiver extension) would more clearly indicate your intended use as a Pistol vs. merely having "Pistol" engraved on the side.
I have also been told that a bare receiver extension is not acceptable on a Pistol. However, I think this may be incorrect.
Can anyone clarify?
All things I already covered. Yes it will not be key in a final legal ruling, but there is a significant chance it could be key in a minor or major inconvenience, including you and or your weapon being detained, or being charged with something that will eventually be dismissed.
Every owner should plan ahead in the event they need to explain why their, by all appearances SBR, actually is not..........at least it would be smart to anticipate the issue, which is why carrying a copy of the ruling is advised.
The vast majority of police departments probably have no patrol officers or supervisors (in the entire dept let alone working the road) that are familiar with this and the specifics involved
And it doesnt just avoid the federal issue, the state laws are also at issue.
Anyone that doesnt see a benefit is unfamiliar with law enforcement
Actually, it's been clearly explained that anyone with the slightest knowledge or experience concerning the way law enforcement works would see that having it marked as a pistol would significantly reduce the chance of a person and /or their weapon being detained.
The only people that would disagree are the uneducated, inexperienced, or kooky sovereign citizen types
You are making plenty of assumptions. Most LE are only worried about stuff like that when the person in possession of it has done something wrong. It is clearly established that a stripped receiver is marked as "other" and can be made into either configuration.
Most LE have very little knowledge of anything more than cursory gun laws. I.E. the obvious shit like having a machine gun, suppressor, sawn-off shotguns, etc...
I travel all the time with firearms and no one even gives me a second look. Additionally I don't let people randomly search my vehicle and I don't volunteer information so it's also moot.
