Hi Richard,
The #'s and letters on your grips are inspector's marks and don't have anything to do with the serial #'s. The original grips should be stamped with the last two digits of the S# (in your case (17), along with inspector's marks. My guess is that your's are probably arsenal replacements or are from a commercial model which weren't numbered too the guns.
