Well, DDR surplus guns did end up in many areas where the Eastern-Block countries tried to make friends. They were found in major conflict zones, including Palestine, Algeria and Vietnam. There must have been some surplus arsenals that could be used to help 'friends in need' during the cold war years.
Finding the crown/U on a DDR gun is not the norm. The 'U' stands for 'Untersuchung' and is found on guns that have been proofed with multiple rounds.
