FWIW, in 1923, various magazine lengths were just one, of many, factory options available.
The only way to ascertain whether or not your Winchester was born that way would to obtain ($$$) a Cody letter, which would describe the config as it left the factory.

I called Cody and they said Winchester lost all records for that year and others in a fire in the 60's and they can not help me .

Then let the gun speak for itself :

If the full-length magazine had been shortened, the original forward attachment receptors in the bottom of the barrel (a cross-groove for the barrel band pin and/or a small hole for the mag end cap screw), near the front sight, will still be there.

If the SRC was born with the shorter magazine, the bottom of the barrel, up there near the front sight, should be as smooth as a baby's butt.
