The numbers are really not a mystery or of special interest, they were put there by the guy/shop/rebuilder that re-barreled your luger.

"He" did it to ID the pieces for re-assembly; quite likely the barrel was fitted, chambered and head spaced and then removed so just the barrel could be blued, then re-installed.

The barrel shows a "better" finish with less wear, loo at the bottom where you took the picture- you can see the nice blue on the barrel and less blue on the receiver.
