Hi Mike.
Most mauser pistols have a number stamped inside the sideplate but not like your example. Is there a number also stamped on the outside in either the military or commercial format? The number stamps you have shown look to me something a unit armorer might do. The stamps look like they are old to me. Maybe someone else might have more info about this type of marking.
