Parker briefly fabricated Laminated Steel tubes in house. Scroll to the bottom here

With a full size high resolution close up of about 8" of barrel, where the contrast is most apparent, we could confirm the composition of your barrels.

Almost all the U.S. makers sourced their "rough forged tubes" from Birmingham (early on) and primarily from Belgium, but there was no relationship between H&A in Norwich, Connecticut and Parker Bros.
BTW: H&A stated that their "Stubbs Twist" barrels were "Guaranteed for use with Nitro Powder"
