Yes, I agree. And they should not be. The recesses should not be deep enough for 45 AR rims, only deep enough for the difference in thickness between 357 case rims (.055" and 45 AR case rims (.090"); .035". Or else the headspace will be far too wide for the AR cartridges. UNLESS the 357 cyl originally had recessed case rims. I don't recall for the vintage of 357.
I couldn't see inside the chambers well enough therefore asked the OP if 45 Colt will chamber in them.
