Lefever arms was also doing ejector conversions on Parkers.

By the look of that makers mark, the steel type was wiped out for sure. Those barrels may be blued over damascus.

With that serial number you can bet the barrels are either Damascus or have been sleeved.

We need to see more of the rib where the steel type would have been stamped. Parker may have normally installed a 1910 bolt plate, but Del Grego only did it if you paid the price. Larry Senior installed a 1910 bolt plate in my 28 gauge VH in 1971 and it was on his list of charges. What's with the bolt slot? Was it done with a hatchet or is the picture not clear?
