Default Vulcan barrels on 20s

Being a newbie Parker guy, I have been under the impression that Vulcan steel barrels were not built on DHE guns, originally, but that Vulcan steel could be specified if Parker added a set of barrels to a gun, as a cost saving measure, if requested. My DHE 16 has Titanic steel barrels as the gun letters being originally built, but also a set of 20 ga. Vulcan steel barrels, properly numbered to the gun. As mentioned, it was assumed that was done by Parker, for the original owner, as a cost savings measure, at a later time.

But, now I see an apparently originally configured 20 ga. DHE, that just sold at auction, that also has Vulcan barrels. What's the real story about steel "grades" on DHE Parkers?

Thanks in advance.
