The one photo in your second batch looks as if the rib matting goes all the way over the dolls head. I do not think that is correct. Also, the rib does not look to ramp up quick enough for a factory Parker Vent rib. The posts also look a bit fat. I wouls suspect it to be an addition.
And it looks as if the barrels have been reblued due to the locking lug being blued.
The checkered side panels should also be suspect on a V grade.
