    Agreed: I think Brian mentioned recently that post war LB used a parked finish (not painted on top), whereas the original factory finish was blued.........

    The finish on the OP's photograph looks so light it almost looks like it has been bead blasted but not parked afterwards. As suggested, perhaps an effect of the light?
