BTW, I would be quite happy to have one chambered in 32 H&R Magnum or 327 Magnum, and get to use the milder 32 S&W Long for range/target use. 
Over two weeks ago I "messaged" PHSADC on Facebook, as follows:
Finally, today, I got this very cryptic response:
Since it seems doubtful that the revolvers will ultimately be retailed in an unfinished state, I assume that this response is simply confirming that the images on the Facebook page are unfinished prototypes .... which of course doesn't answer the real question at all!
Keeping in mind that PHSADC is an marketing and promotional consortium of various manufacturers with the Pakistani government, the person dealing with the Facebook page is unlikely to be directly connected with the actual manufacturer of these revolvers, and thus would need to contact somebody else to get the information about ultimate finish .... and obviously didn't do so in this case. And of course, it doesn't help that their primary language is undoubtedly not English ....
I have responded as follows, which will hopefully elicit the desired information:

Really? POF-USA was formed to market POF license manufactured H&K firearms and parts into the USA market.
It was generally acknowledged that their quality and finish was better than the equivalent German product, and there used to be photo pages on the internet in the pre-2001 world where this was illustrated for all to see.
Now of course POF-USA goes by Patriot Ordinance Factory and is known for their gas piston AR15 clones...

In which case it won't be of the original design, because it won't pass the drop test: http://www.atf.gov/files/forms/download/atf-f-5330-5.pdf
The Webleys imported by Interarms post 1968 in the US had a goofy safety bar added to them similar to the Ruger revolvers but it doesn't work terribly well. Well enough to pass the import test.
Webley-Fosbreys use a similar hammer design so I'm pretty sure they'll fail too.
Original guns I think are on the C&R list so they can be imported without passing the test, or were imported prior to 1968.
