Commonwealth Inch, Commonwealth Finish?

[AmEngRifles]

I have a question about rifle finishes from each Commonwealth Nation for their various SLRs. What did each of the Canadian, English, Australian, New Zealand and Indian SLRs designate for rifle finish? My simple observation is that all except the UK just applied parkerizing. The UK appears to me to be a paint over parkerizing and I believe I have heard that term before. Is this correct?

What form of paint (color and curing) did the UK use?

Did the other countries actually specify a "color" to the final parkerizing process? Sorry, "colour" to my Commonwealth collector friends.

Did these finishes also exactly apply to the magazines?

Surprised I did not find this as a thread already.

Thanks guys!
