Default HOW "PARKER" ARE THESE CASE COLORS

I recently purchased a totally restored Parker VH 20 GA.
I think a great restoration job, but, I'm not sure how close to original looking are the case colors.
Opinions Please!
No holds barred.

Please show the underside and the left side.

That picture looks pretty close. Is that Turnbull's work?

In my opinion, though overall correct looking, the sides have a little more straw than would be considered ideal. The right type of colors, just too much of some and not enough of others.
The front of the frame looks Great.

I think they look great. Parker colors varied and though these are on the light or straw side they are not incorrect.

It looks better than my old beaters.
