I agree, those barrels have been refinished at some point. The brown color is due to not boiling to convert the rust to black.It is often done to simulate an aged patina.Aged black & white fades definition and tends to appear brownish due to the white "steel" rusting and staining. the area under the forearm on original barrels will confirm that the barrels were finished to be black and white.
