What does an incomplete barrel, in the process of being made, have to do with a complete, functioning barrel? The fact that you see alternating colored bands? I have a Japanese Murata, that is very complete, and has a barrel with two distinct color steel bands in the wrap. OK, I see now. The discussion went from the original post, to something totally different.
