The only realistic explanation for the hammers is that they are not original. They are not the correct style, not engraved and they dont have the gun’s serial number on them.

Now, your hammers can be reworked to be made to look correct. A little filing, and little engraving, done.

I agree with Brian, but you will find many examples which are also incorrect. If you look at the first and second picture, on the main page under Parker Grades, Grade 3 Lifter, the will see that the right and left hammers do not match, and both are incorrect for the grade.
The grade three lifter hammer should have a small bead at the top of the shank where it joins the hammer section, and a cock spur on the rear of the hub, facing inward.
