My new byf P08, what are the proof marks?

Hey guys I'm new to this. I was hoping you can check out the picture links below and tell me a bit about my first Luger. Don't be afraid to let me know what you think. It's much appriated.

It is a byf but has no marking above the chamber. It has a matching frame, barrel and upper. It also doesnt have the P.08 stamped on the frame by the safety. I have detail stripped it and has mostly matching parts. All but the toggle pin, and also the striker & extractor area which is all stamped 56. The serial number is 7969 and it has a weird N with crown stamp almost overlapping the serial number. It also has another unidentified stamp on the right side of the frame, it is the letters "Su" over top of the number 25 (see pictures). I paid $450 canadian for it at a local gun show, it came with just 1 mag.

Anyways I look forward to talking to you all. If you know what those proof marks are, or why it doesnt have a number stamped above the chamber (41, 42) let me know! Plus the P.08 by the safety. I have to say this is a great site!

Regards,
