When Remington bought Parker evidently they didn't get "Parker Bros" and I think all the post sale guns had "Parker" engraved on the bottom while the pre-sale guns say "Parker Bros" on the sides. That may not be so with all of what they call transition era guns. I think there was a while in there where they finished some Meriden guns and started some new order guns. Our historian guys can tell you much more detail than I.
Looked at the serialization book, both of your guns are listed (a fair number are not, a couple of mine included). They list as:
239080 J H 0 P 16 26
232452 V H 0 C 16 28
That looks like EXACTLY you have.
