Seems that Leroy told me Meier Steel made most of Buck's patterned steel back in the day and the earlier was Parker, or vice-versa. He suggested that the patterns weren't named like they are today; ladder, raindrop, etc... They ordered patterned steel and they got patterned steel.
One is Parker and the other is Meier. I don't recall which Leroy said was which.
Of course, I could be imagining all of this...
