Hello tricrog...
You have not provided nearly enough information about your Model 55 to even begin to try answering your question, and at this point, unless you/I can positively verify that the magazine was factory installed, it will be assumed by the vast majority of Winchester collectors to be a non-original (messed with) rifle.
Please start by answering these questions;
1. Is it a solid frame or a Takedown?
2. Plain Sporting Rifle or Deluxe?
3. Serial number?
4. Graded condition - how much of the original factory bluing expressed as a % remains on the frame, the barrel, and butt plate? What condition are the stocks in (list any defects)? What does the bore look like?
If possible, post a few pictures of it.

Special orders were widely available during the years that the model 55 was manufactured. I don't know if yours will 'letter' I would call/write the Winchester Museum at Cody, Wy to see if they are able to verify your configuration. Even if it did letter, most collectors would probably prefer the standard button mag. Just my two cents.

None of the Model 55s will letter... they were manufactured way too late. None of Winchester's original records exist for the Model 55 or Model 64.
