I like 3/55 barrels and rifles. 2 days till my birthday. :D My latest HRA is about 60,000 numbers lower than yours with a 1/55 barrel. HRA 5.539m. :) It joined my twin 4.73M HRAs. Both of those have 3-54 HRA barrels.
My SA field grade has very similar readings. 2 MW and 3 TW. It came with the sight base for the grenade launcher on it. Back of the tag says " correct " and it is. 5.85 million serial number with a 3/55 SA barrel.
Just occuring to me that for SHTF purposes, consider the "political" SHTF perspective ...
The M1 can really fly under the radar of any possible "assault weapon" bans ... doesn't have a detachable mag, less than 10 rounds and no "features"
So, worth considering for political insurance purposes
Most commie states ( I used to live in the gulag known as New York ) list features banned on rifles with detachable magazines. Have not seen a state ( yet) specify the “ban features” applying to a rifle without a detachable magazine.

Just "upgraded" the rear sight with a Type II SA repro lock bar from AmmoGarand and the gas cylinder plug with a slotted unit. Unfortunately, the rear sight's finish doesn't match the receiver but, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, oh well.
