There is a pin running through the toggle which holds the center toggle axle in place. The top of the pin is visible at the top of the toggle near the left knob. This pin is properly "in the white", as it is installed when the gun is reassembled after its original bluing. In the phto you show, the pin is clearly blued.
This pin, and the blued safety area you already point out, are indications that the pistol has indeed undergone substantial, if not complete, reblue. Are there "halos" around the marks underneath the barrel?
What is the serial number?
From the initial photos, the magazine may be the best part of the gun.
