IMO John, it had more to do with the period or Parker era in which they were made as regards the shape and contour of the BTFE that determined the different styles. But certainly a true Double Trap 12 gauge might have a different style of BTFE than a 20 gauge or 28 gauge Skeet gun might have had.
Here's a 1936 28 gauge Skeet gun.
