I have pics of both sides, including the serial number. I called Sig, they told me what it was. It was built for a Police/Mil contract, and was not a two tone when it left the factory. They only knew the SQU#, W1911-45-SP(special purpose)
This W1911-45-SP is listed as a Target Stainless model with adjustable rear sight.

You can't go by the Part Number (SKU) alone and know exactly what a particular SIG's configuration is. The Part Number can be very generic. In this case, the "W" just means gov/LE contract, and the "SP" means Special Configuration, which could means a thousand different things. "SP" just indicates a non-catalogued item. Under the Part Number on the label, the detailed configuration of a particular SIG is spelled out (most of the time). And, If you don't have that label, give SIG CS the serial number, and they will tell you what configuration it was, when it left factory. In OP's case, it was not a 2-tone, when it left factory. So, some previous owner did some refinishing (bead blasting the slide) on this gun, apparently.
Another example:
E28-9-SP. This is the Part Number for both the US NJSP stainless slide P228 and the German stainless frame P228. It tells you literally nothing, except the guns are non-catalogued.
