If I send off for a letter for my SN# 241883 1/2 frame 12g, what do you think it will say if anything?
These late Ilion Parkers have about as much to tell from their barrel flats as the little bit of IBM card info. Your gun's flats show a date code of RJ (blue) R = November J = 1940 and a repair code of OK3 (orange) O = July K = 1941.

241883 01 RJ R = Nov J = 1940 OK3 O = Jul K =1941, date codes highlighted.jpg

I have a theory, and that is all it is, that these guns with a repair code so soon after the build date indicates a gun taken fom inventory and modified in some way to fill an order.

The 70 and 62 are head scratchers!
