The angle between the water table and the breech face on Parkers is not 90 degrees. This may account for the uneven cutting of the breech face recess.
This in itself gives me a certain doubt of it being PB factory work. PB, knowing the angle was not a perfect 90 would have taken this into account when machining the recesses.
