Polishing before finish was applied
Actually they are two completely different processes using different chemicals with different results. Parkerizing is more rust resistant and will hold protection lube coating better and the finish changes color with age. Blueing doesn't change color except through wear.

What is the difference between a parkerized finish and a blued finish on a firearm?
A blued finish is produced by controlled rusting, usually produced by a chemical reaction, that forms a thin layer of black iron oxide on the surface of the gun. This is a dark blue or black color, and helps protect the metal from corrosion. However, when subjected to the rigors of military usage, bluing was not adequate to protect the metal. Another finish, known as Parkerizing was developed to provide greater protection. This is a phosphate coating that is typically a grey/green flat (non-shiny) color. This was used on US military small arms starting just prior to WW II. The finish of the M-1 Garand, M-1 Carbine, and M-14 rifle is an example of Parkerizing.

Can a blued trigger be original on a 1956 or 57 sweet sixteen?
I have seen a '57 model with a gold trigger, and the finish was wearing thru and it had a somewhat darkish, maybe blued look to it. So there is a possibility that the trigger's finish has worn off, and another possibility that the person went and either got the trigger blued, or they used a cold-blue substance on it to give it a finish to keep it from rusting/deteriorating.
