Yet, you've done some measuring and comparing and the forearms are not T forearms, so why would anyone call it an "RT"?

I think what happened is that when they started making the R's and they wanted the new look that this was it and they made very few of them before they slimmed the forearms back down to what the post war R's look like normally. So why not just call them a model R? Bet if they had records that that's what it would letter as.

And the Hang Tag actually has a E-G-T or E-R-T don't remember
on it. But it was made in the Early 40's.

As far as Lengths On Wood, All Stocks Were Hand Made?, Hand Fitted etc
So Lengths are going to vary some.
