1916 DWM Luger Markings

I am considering buying a 1916 DWM Luger. Everything looks good as far as the matching numbers and minimal wear. One concern I have is with two markings I have never seen before. I can't find any reference to them in my books. One is stamped on the frame and it reads L.O.120. The other is on the right side of the receiver and it reads in real fine print "Not English Made".

Has anyone seen these kind of marks before? I was hoping for a nice clean WWI Luger but these marks make me think that this speciman was tinkered with. This is a private purchase and the owner doesn't have any answers.

Thanks for the help.
