Seems too obvious.

When composite barrels are made and not yet rust browned they are an undifferentiated silver and difficult to determine pattern or type. Accordingly it is hard to tell Damascus from twist or even to determine fluid steel without stamped markings.

I wonder if composite tubes were paired at the barrel maker's or here at the factory?
We know that they were difficult and even impossible to how the pattern was wound when they were in the silver stage, and they did need to be paired in order to get this beautiful mirror-image effect. .

The contrast is so dramatic! My interest is piqued, because I just bought a GH with a set of these barrels. (Pretty pedestrian by comparison). 8-15-2020 8-36-18 PM.jpg |

They may have used an acid etch to show the pattern when pairing and assembling tubes.
Just a quick application of acid will show the pattern clearly.
