A Sino-Soviet should have:

blade bayonet, not spike
26 inside a triangle on the right of the S/N. It's easy to confuse between "26" & "216".
No Chinese characters T56 (五六式) on the receiver
S/N starting with a letter followed by up to 5 numbers

If the S/N is 2I86XX from arsenal 26, "I86XX" will be stamped on the bolt, bolt carrier, trigger guard, receiver cover and mag.

I would love to receive an SKS in the mail

A Sino-Soviet should have the serial #s in front of the arsenal stamp and no Chinese characters. May or may not have a capital letter at the begining of the numbers, not sure about that. PAX

It has the serial number before the triangle 26 and I86xx is stamped on the receiver cover and bolt.

It looks like a Chinese rebuild using a early Sino Soviet receiver which was renumbered by adding the "2" in front of the original serial number

Every true original "Sino Soviet" has a unique SN sequence with four number preceded by another character. In addition it should have a blade bayonet and a stock with a side mounted sling.

The rear sight should have a proper Soviet type scale as in the pic below.
