Default London Proofs

After receiving a recent acquisition of V grade 20 following restoration I wanted to submit a photo of British proofs found on the barrel flats, with a few questions to the Forum.. I did notice the V stamp(consistent with Parker) within a circle but do not find a Walter King stamp or the unstruck weight.. Can someone identify these proofs please and tell me if these guns were ever exported without a WK stamp... I had thought maybe the proof house had redone the flats although it does not appear so because the V marking is still present.. Any info appreciated.. I would also like to commend Mr. Brad Bachelder and his team for a fantastic over the top job..
