Thanks for the photo analysis work Gene.

I had always assumed that my Reilly was built as a non ejector but started to puzzle why it should bear the GN patent mark for an ejector mechanism.

Looking at it more closely, and now being able to contrast it the the Needham ejector gun at page 3, it becomes clear that it has been converted to non-ejector.

The cocking hook has been reshaped but retains the slot for the ejector kickers, the front lump the retaining “nail”, and the split ejectors have been soldered together to act as a one piece extractor.
