I have a small, about 40 and adding, collection of Accutrons and have mostly concluded, tongue in cheek, that they never made any two alike. It is certainly not unheard of for a gold plated case to have a SS back. To find out if it is pieced together, you might want to take a look at the back of the movement, it should have a date stamp like the one on the rear of the case in the 12:00 o'clock positon of the rear of the movement. If it hasn't been erased or washed out the case number should be on the inside of the rear cover. As to it running perfectly on a modern battery, that isn't particularly unusual, none of my 214's have been modified for modern batteries though I do use Accucells in one of them.
