The are correct for a 1937 S/42 Mauser.
The suffix looks like an "N" to me, and that is in the right range for this serial number.
You should also recognize the "Mauser Hump" which is a slight bump out on the rear part of the upper section. It a classic feature of Muser lugers.
It originally has wood grips. You can find wood grips, but finding the correct or numbered grips is a real long shot. You should have better luck finding a side plate numbered to the gun.
We have a Want to Sell and Want to Buy section, once you have enough posts (25, I think).
You may want to put a post in the Want to Buy for a side plate and grips.
