Simson rework on GB.com

Since it is evident that none of us is going to run out and buy it, lets talk.
Now the 58 on the side plate and barrel extension look cheesey, but I see no evidence that the surface has been taken down to remove old numbers AND the finish looks pretty good, sharp edges, although it could be an old re-finish.
The magazine does not show signs of having been taken down to remove previous numbers either. I suppose it could have been an un-numbered armorer's magazine.
The 58 on the hold open looks good enough to pass muster. The 42 on the barrel? I have no idea what gives there.
An obvious concoction of misc. parts, but I'm interested in learning how to spot boosted parts, and so far I'm not seeing much evidence, except that "it don't belong on that gun".
