Looked again: McGivern Gold Bead?
From the side, it looks like the bead (if there) is not flush with the face of the blade, but convex (toward the shooter), or cylindrical, but sitting above the surface.
As I'm sure you know, that would be a 'McGivern' type of front sight.
Of course, the factory letter might also say, but both types were *almost* standard on 1st Model K-22s, so it might not. (If it didn't, I would still count the front sight as most likely being original equipment.)
