Without any supportive data on the gun you may be correct... but keep in mind that with the rib matting running right off the end of the rib as yours does, the only thing we know is that if Parker Bros. had cut the barrels they would have installed steel keels that would show in the triangular area between the ribs and the barrels. If there is only lead solder in that space it is pretty unlikely that Parker Bros. did the work.
This is not meant to disparage your heirloom gun in any way, but simply an observation you may or may not wish to explore.
Best, Dean
