15 - 20 years ago I was in a shop with a skilled craftsman and he showed me a Parker that was like this gun, but only on one side. The other side was a regular box lock. I asked him why and he said "to prove I could do it".
Both Parker Bros. and Remington Arms Co. made samples of hammerless conversions of their hammer sidelock doubles, but both eventually settled on boxlock hammerless designs for their public offerings. These hammerless sidelock conversions are shown in The Parker Story and in Charles Semmer's Remington Double Shotguns.

I can't find any reference in TPS regarding conversions, but do see the prototype Hammerless shown on page 121. Where are the conversions shown which you referenced?
