The sideplate looks like an Erfurt. Bill

Erfurt mag body(likely); base may be original but the stamps are not.
The stamps are not german and likely stamped "lately" to boost the magazine.
You can see the impression from common steel stamp sets, wrong font, and mis alignment; oL makes no sense.

Bill is right on, an Erfurt side plate, un-numbered so likely spare part.
