Having closely examined the bores of the WR (as you would expect), I am certain they have been "cleaned up" a bit. The early Birmingham Proof "10m/9b Not for Ball" marks don't really tell you much more than that the barrels were built with choke. How WR adjusted them for pattern in the "old days" is a mystery wrapped in a Damascus enigma...regretfully the original case labels do not contain any load data. however like many early Westleys, the chamber diameter is stamped on the barrel breeches (.940 standard 8 bore is .930")
