If the later then the smaller number would indicate bore dia at provisional proof & the larger the bore size after final finishing for definitive proof. Choke would be same as above.
Earlier Belgian proof did indicate both bore & choke diameters but this had been discontinued.

Miller,

One barrel shows "16.0 CHOKE 15.9" and the other barrel merely states "CHOKE 15.9"
