A decent haul - 1916 Erfurt

Picked up this set recently at a great price and would like to have you guys chime in on what I got. This will likely become my shooter luger. The pistol #5670 does not have matching numbers, but it looks like two it has two sets of numbers: "70" is found on the locking bolt, forward toggle link, extractor, and "48" is found on the trigger, connector pin,hold open latch, safety bar, and sear bar and "748" on the frame. Even to my inexperienced eye I can see it has been refinished.

One part I'm not familiar with is the side plate. It has some numbers stamped on the inside of the plate that looks like "08" and "CN" with what looks like a cross on the trigger lever.

The grips are unmarked black plastic - any way to tell if they are original luger grips (I know they're not original to this pistol). Also, I think I can see a faint waffenamt on the take down tool just below the circle cut-out, but I couldn't get a good pic of it. Does it look legit?
