Not a star dot or Pittman. Not ported all the way around? Colonial arms? Can someone help with identifying this choke?

Either a star dot or a colonial arms choke.

It isn't a Star Dot.  Star dots had 2 rows of ports.

Looks like either a Preston Pittman tube or a Hi-Viz tube.

I think the picture quality is blocking out the other row of ports

Nope.  Look at my Star Dot.  No matter how you turn it the poted holes are close enoiugh together that your always going to see 2 rolls of ports or 2 holes or 3.

And to the best of my knowledge even the Preston Pittman chokes that were the same choke as a Star Dot had 2 rolls of ports.  The only thing different that I know of on the Star Dot chokes was at the top of the chokes.  One was knurled, and the other had cut-out straight grooves.  I know because I had both Star Dots like this.

Ok so the ports don't go all the way around? Any ideas.
