Quoting what John said
... the whole gun starts out white unfinished steel. Then the rust bluing was applied discreetly to each part leaving the white exposed (internal surfaces) where it was thought it wouldn't matter that bluing wasn't applied... Unquote
That's why they numbered so many parts that once blued had to be refitted together.
Thanks for the interesting side by side comparison!
