Not the best images, but the left barrel appears to have a dent (or had a dent removed) at 1:00 and remains slightly out-of-round.
At the time of your 3 day inspection measure the choke length of the reportedly IC barrel. The length of the choke constriction of a 16 or 20g should be 1 1/2" - 2" with a short parallel section at the muzzle; longer if a 12g.
From the late Austin Hogan
Parker chokes prior to sometime during Remington's ownership were cut with the adjustable nut borer and had the characteristic "OGEE" shape, with a parallel section 1/8 to 1/4 inch long. Late Remington barrels were reamed from the muzzle end, and have longer parallel sections.
The gun should be viewable at The Gun Shop in Olathe. Possibly a member could swing by with a bore gauge.
