There are much more knowledgeable members here to help, but I hope this answers some of your questions.

Thanks so much for the info, I really needed help identifying that serial suffix and that narrows things down a lot!
Do the 'acceptance stamps' and 'firing proofs' speak to who this would've been supplied to?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the pistol is from the 'b' suffix group it should be a military pistol, right? My research shows that only the 'e' suffix group had some pistols that were given to police.
