IIRC, only the Mauser side plates are numbered inside. This DWM would have come with a side plate that wasn't numbered inside. It might have had an inspection mark.

The plate on your gun now looks a bit like it was force fit to the gun. There is apparent grinding that isn't square on the front edge of the plate.

As long as the rest of the linkage wasn't "adjusted" to make the plate fit, you should be able to get a DWM plate to properly fit. This is hand work and can take some experience and skill to do properly.

Do download the FAQs. It is a good reference.
