Actually, the term 16 and 8 are not strictly true. Only the visible part transitions to what I called 16 and 8. The area covered by the fore end remains octagon shaped up to the wedding ring. The top is section only is a 16 side profile, I suspect as a narrowing visual aid to alignment. You can see this if you look at the third picture at the top of the post.

I don't have a picture of the entire transition handy, but here is one that shows most of it. The actual top of the barrel one of the narrow sections. At the very right you can see the area at the end transition. It appears to be a simple flat circular cut that took the 8 corner down to a 16 corner, basically cutting the octagon corners into 16 sides with a radiused cove on each corner. Hope this isn't too confusing.



While I am at it, I will attach the last 4 pictures in the separate post to this thread. There is apparently a 10 picture limit in one single post.
