Two questions, 1 it looks like the chamfer at the bore is little more than smoothing out the burrs. I had a buddy that is good with his tools recrown a bore for me, he did it that same way. I expected a "deeper" chamfer, but he said that is the best way to do it.
2, is the little chunk of barrel a copy of the throat geometry of the barrel? makes it easy to find oal...
1) In the grand scheme,crowns really don't make a fhuqk. That being said,I'm hard on Riggin' and keep muzzles taped. I've got every crown knowed to man and more than a few that I simply Invented.(grin) Hint.
2) The short piece of spout is as you opine,in that it's a short section cut with like throat geometry,as a Seating Stub. Quick,fast and handy,less a single concession.
88 ELD shank heels are right at the neck juncture and that weren't a fluke.(grin)
Hint.....................
