Not sure about the first marking, but the NOT ENGLISH MAKE is a British commercial proof required under the British Proof Act of 1925-1955. These marks were applied by both the London Proof House and the Birmingham Proof House to any firearm sold commercially in England that was not English make. There should be other British proofs on the pistol including a nitro proof on the barrel
