Could be, if so, they got the location correct
and the numbers wrong.:confused:

Or maybe just a Mauser plate with the correct two outside numbers.

As an afterthought. Regarding my Mauser sideplates:

If the S/42 has the 2 first digits in the inside middle, the BYF is somewhat different. The first digit (an 8) is at the middle but the second digit is a lazy 0 to one side of the plate (left side with the inside of the plate facing you).

1917 DWM Artillery #9936i 36 on side plate face 99 on the bottom, inside

Thanks Wayne,
Looks like DWM was "deciding" how to do the numbers in in 1910-12.

Could you post a picture of 5275 and/or 2557c?

Thanks Wayne, pictures are fine; numbers are just hard to see as they are not really deeply struck.
But they are there for sure.
