The checkering was done in Japan. Even the A1S guns that came over 'in the white' were checkered when they arrived, to the best of my knowledge.
The DHE Repros were checkered to the Remington Parker standard but not exactly. The border which is not truly mullered, as Remington did not muller the borders (the Parkers that Tom Skuese sent to Japan to be used as exact patterns for the Repros were his Remington Parkers), are not done exactly as Remington did them... but they are probably as close as necessary.
