The engraving around the edge of the dolls head is still uniform, at the back, which tells me they were not filed.That is the main reason I believe they are added barrels. I'd still probably have trouble looking down and seeing those gaps. The gaps look to be at least 1/16", and you know Parker would not have shipped a gun with a rib extension that much shorter than the pocket it fits into.
edit: I do think the gap on the A grade is better than the gun shown in the third picture, but look at any of Steve Barnett Fine Guns, or Puglisi's higher grade guns. Those are what one would expect.
