I just took a very close look at mine and the barrels are in fact 4 iron crolle. This is defined as having between the weld lines three full Damascus rosettes bordered by a half rosette on each side.
Three iron crolle (or croile as some spell it) has two full rosettes bordered by a half rosette on each side between the weld lines. I have three G's with three iron crolle.

I have seen Grade 4 (C) guns with 4 iron crolle but the Grade 5 (B) began the DD (Finest Damascus) barrels but I don't remember if that was 5 iron crolle or 6. Drew would know for sure.
