The ejector system shown is most likely a modification of Fischer's patent installed by M & F or possibly Joseph Singer of Los Angeles, both of whom specialized in "pre-aftermarket" modifications, particularly Parkers (e.g., hardened boltplate modifications, ejectors, etc. long before they were done in Meriden
It's not a Southgate system since that one doesn't use coil springs (leaf only) and its not an original Baker patent (English, not USA) since the Baker patent housed the individual coil springs in small cylindrical metal sleeves or tubes. When the gun was opened, a nub on the face of the action engaged the end of the ejector tube and lifted it up until the stop on the end of the ejector shaft was freed, and the spring inside the tube forced the ejector shaft out ejecting the spent shell. Oscar's photos clearly show the giveaway indicator of pre- and/or after-market ejector installation - the tiny pinhead of the metal shaft just barely discernable in the forward rim of the orbit of the recessed hinge pin.
