Frank,
There were a number of companies back in the day that did conversions and upgrades adding BT forearms, after market vent ribs, and single triggers to make a Parker more resemble an original "Trap Configured" gun...
The degree of rarity based on the gun you have asked about (a small bore "Trap Configured" Parker) would depend greatly on condition and whether it was equipped with all original Parker options,
or, after market ad-on's... Make sure you know the difference between the two (original vs non-original) before you lay your money on the table... Below is a photo of two DHE's, at left a 12ga, and at right a 20ga, both with 32" vent rib's... In addition to occasionally busting clays, they were also enjoyed hunting as well...
Best, CSL
