Sounds like you have a Model 15 (not a Model 15-2).  If the barrel nut is internal it is a Model 15.  If it has an external barrel nut then it is a Model 12.

The primary visual difference between a Model 15 and a Model 15-2 is that the Model 15 has a porkchop barrel shroud whereas the more modern Model 15-2 has the straight barrel shroud.  Both use internal barrel nuts.

To answer your question about grip; there are only 2 styles, the small med frame 22-357 mag. these have a square grip post as you mentioned.  The other style is the 357max up to 445 and some rare models above 44.  These all have a round grip post and within each group most grips are interchangeable.
