Normally, the Littleport Burns guitars had a plain neck reverse-side. The maple fretboard was attached like a rosewood one would be - and had no "skunk stripe" for that reason. That is, the truss-rod was installed in a channel routed out of the main part of the neck (and not via a drilled-out aperture).
But the one in the picture will have a rosewood strip down the middle, which itself is nothing to do with the truss rod arrangement but is simply part of the decorative construction of the neck.
