The letter from the Air Ministry (bottom right of my collage above) is about the same topic. The complete original is on my desktop, so I can’t show it right now. Peter from SA posted these some years ago in a discussion about the “non-bulge barrel bulge” issue. But I don’t recall an explanation either, just instructions not to worry.
I have one like that (standard 1944 L-L) with the issue quite pronounced. Absolutely perfect bore inside.
