Odd... as I recall, nearly every parker I have had re-cased has had it.
Yes, it is dependent on the case hardening process. But more a function of how the trigger plate is machined. The channel in the plate for the unhooking slide results in a dramatically different thickenss of material up the middle of the plate. This is really the main reason for a difference in the appearance and patterning of the colors in that area.
And I will add that not all original examples are that pronounced. Every gun is different.
