Found here. I think it’s actually a trademark of those revolvers.
manurhin mr73 - larvatus prodeo
The top sideplate screw featured on early revolvers is deleted on subsequent variants, with sideplate retention ensured by the profile of its corner shaped as a wedge fitting in the frame. The four pins staked into the MR73 frame to serve as trigger and hammer axes, and retain the bolt stop and its spring, differ from it in heat treatment, resulting in the appearance of purple circles on its left hand side as a result of differential response to bluing salts.
Always liked this pic of a scoped and bipodded 8 inch.
