Did you note the S/42 code on the left side of the slide? This is correct for parts produced for use as replacement parts and not to be assembled to a new gun.
We run into that on a lot of major P38 parts. The 'late ac frame' and un-numbered barrels all have the code and WaA stamped on them. and were in the parts inventory.
I would bet the slide was secured from 'parts'
