No gold inlays on the guns pictured above, and no wedges of engraving on the barrels. And given that we see "Sauer and Son", that's a pretty clear indicator that they're guns made for export to America.

Checking all 3 of Barnett's Prussian Sauers listed as 45's on gunsinternational, all 3 are marked Fluid Steel. Not a one with special steel. All the markings line up with my 40. I don't see anything to convince me that they're actually 45's.
