Seems to me that all the mysteries have been cleared up except as to barrel length. So you are left with four possibilities:
1) The barrels have been cut.
2) The gun was returned and the barrels were replaced by Parker at a later date.
3) The barrels were replaced aftermarket by someone other than Parker.
4) The Order Book is wrong.
Options 2 and 4 are going to be extremely difficult to prove. Leaving Options 1 or 3 as your most likely scenarios.
