There was only one or two manufacturers putting out barrels with .125" bolt face depth-based headspace, so the vast majority are cut to Grendel .136" face depth.
I think Model 1 Sales was doing it but called their barrels 6.5 Sporter, notorious for problems, lack of accuracy, cheap bolts made from 8620, etc.
BHW had both options and called their option 1, the .125" depth, a Type I, and their Grendel-compatible option with .136" a Type II, even though Grendel bolts had existed for many years before they had any offerings. For some reason, those misnomer terms caught on and people started using them.
Chances are the barrel uses a real Grendel bolt face depth.
