I beg to differ with 'Madsenshooter'.

OP's lower Krag appears to have the correct muzzle crown and a Springfield Armory base attachment. (The top of the front-sight base does appear filed down or altered).

The upper Krag (right photo) appears to have an incorrect crown and a re-attached front-sight base. (Not S.A. work).
