A red nose is likely a Hot Trick piece. They also made a "wide" nose that was popular. Does the aluminum nose seem wider than your carbon chassis?
There were no advantages to a standard narrow Hot Trick nose so it could be that they damaged the original and just replaced it.
As far as the chassis, "A" stamp can be a Edinger or Cadillac, but a pale gold (usually called a champaign) would narrow it to Edinger. The gold changed a lot over the years, the "B" stamp and especially "C" stamp got much more orange
