Robin Brown kindly (and very promptly) responded to my inquiry and confirmed that the gun in question (the second photo above) "is by A A Brown and does not have a screw grip, it is built on our own action with Scott spindle leverwork plus replaceable hinge pin." He also confirmed that AA Brown "never made a gun using a W&S action so there is not in existence a genuine A A Brown with screw grip."
So, in conclusion:
1. As Dig said, AA Brown did not use W&S actions for their boxlocks, so none of their boxlocks will have a Webley Screw Grip.
2. Webley Screw Grips are indicated by the shape of the top lever, not the barrel extension.
I will leave to others to sort out if any apologies are necessary, but should clarify that Lovel did not advertise this gun as a Webley Screw Grip and it was only after I purchased the gun in response to my inquiry that they told me it was a Webley Screw Grip.
