The text for each grade Parker in the big Remington era catalog describes the barrels in glowing terms, but no steel names.
A1 Special --"The barrels are of high tensile strength to insure safety, heat treated for durability and free from all imperfections."
AHE -- "The material used in Parker barrels must pass severe tests to insure great strength and long life."
GHE -- "Steel of a specially selected high quality is used for the barrels, which are strong, well built and of lasting service."
Seems kind of peculiar to me that while Winchester was touting their Winchester Proof Steel, Remington moved away from the fanciful names on their barrel steel. From a 1940s Model 11 and The Sportsman folder -- "High grade steel is used for action and barrel."
