That would explain the lack of patent dates. I hadn't considered this because I was under the impression the barrel had been milled for the barrel-shaped ejector rod and that only the additional notch for the larger diameter portion had been hand cut. Now with the better photo it looks to me like maybe not, and that the entire two-step notch was added.
