My experience as well, and not just the local product, Gov't issue did this as well.

Back to the original question....barrels on these came from all sorts of places. The "gunsmith" used what ever was available. Perhaps if you could post clearer photos of the barrel marks someone may be able to narrow the origin down.
With regard to the lack of a trigger guard..... I once owned a very similar Jezail without a guard. Not unusual at all.
