Picture #29 of 33 shows a proper sized suffix in the proper location, also eliminating the partial X as a suffix. I *think* it is an "i" which could be correct for a 1940 Mauser, but the angle and glare is to bad to be certain. From what can be see, the size and style seem to match the 1940 "i" as shown in Hallock & vande Kant's book (Appendix B, page 654).
