Simply as a point of discussion and to bring this to a conclusion for the rest of us, can you please post a sharper picture of the muzzle end of the rib?
Incidentally, the keels are definitely in place exactly as Parker Bros. did them. They look perfect. They are triangular pieces of steel beneath the top and bottom ribs to keep the ribs aligned as they were soldered in place.
