Just curious, were pre-64 Winchesters built on true short actions, or did they just block the magazine and use a longer bolt stop?

long actions.

The pre-64 was only made in a "long" action, as when using shorter calibers, the magazine box had spacers added in either the rear or front, or both to allow feeding. A filler (spacer) block was added to the extractor ring that acted as a bolt stop & was made different lengths to accommodate each caliber other than the standard (30-06 & magnums). The ejector was made longer to compensate for shorter calibers.

ITs a pre-64 in a likely not overly produced chambering. Just a thought but maybe some yanks would love to throw money at it in a bidding war on gunsamerica or some other gun selling exchange. Again, do what you will, just thinking out loud...
