The only record that associates an individual with his firearm was his personal soldier book. There was a second book kept at unit level, but finding these is next to impossible for an individual soldier unless you already know their name, and the family or someone has the book.
Not all firearms were unit marked. Others that have studied them can give you details about the marking laws. The magazine pics are just fuzzy enough to make it hard to judge the stampings. The bases look good to me, and they are probably period. A better look at the bases and the sides could help confirm.
In that condition, the holster wouldn't appeal to a collector. That said, it looks like it probably was a reproduction. I haven't seen a "P.08" stamped in that font.
