Yes John, that is the way Remington marked their barrels. Even under Remington the Parker shotgun operation was referred to as the Parker Gun Works (note the very obvious omission of the word "Brothers" as Remington did not buy the rights to "Parker Brothers" but only to the name "Parker"). After Remington ran low on existing ribs that were part of the purchase, they made their own but I suspect it would have been too expensive to make all new roll dies for the rib inscription so it was probably decided to do away with the rib inscription.
Regarding disassembling the lug section from the barrels in order to rebarrel the gun... I don't know if there are any records to support this having been done, but never say never.

shouldn't there also be a set of Remington date codes on the barrel?
