The rear sight dovetail doesn't look right, it looks as if it has been lengthened and an original sight will no longer work. What do you think?

could be, but those screws are awful tight on the ones I have. Not much room to open the dovetail.

I'd doubt its lengthened. there is a threaded block inside the jacket (not easily accessible) which would have to be removed and a lengthened replacement installed (if that would even work right). Then the jacket would have to be re-tapped. All that's to say, it would be a heck of a lot of work just for a rear sight with a longer hole pattern.
