I hope not.... I didn't mean to give it away so soon.
Just double checked - there's nothing in the pictures that would reveal it. .

Something to do with barrel length or gauge is my hunch

We’re the tubes supplied by the owner to Parker for use on the ordered gun? It looks like in the next to last picture that the bottom rib is short of the end and the extractor rod area is is milled out
