Allan, Dave Suponski sent me a copy of that memo for my 1/2 frame research collection. The result of that memo is that #1 frame barrels will fit on a 1/2 frame action. However, there are other differences, like the forend attaching area. My 1/2 frame DHE actually has a second set of #1 frame barrels. The #1 frame barrels require a #1 frame forend and the 1/2 frame barrels require a #0 or #1/2 frame forend. Oddly, the memo was dated long before the 1/2 frame was put into production. Thanks, Allan.
