Default Lifter forearm wedge escutcheon

Has anyone seen these type of escutcheons on any Parker lifter? I can't find another example in any of my Parker books. The gun was made in 1875.

Here are a couple of photos of the gun. I just noticed how different these escutcheons are and wondered how many Parkers had them.

I would expect to see such escutcheons on a high grade such as yours.
