New Luger owner with questions...

From pure observation the grips look ok to me. They match the overall condition of the pistol and the fit and checkering looks correct as well.

Early Alphabet Commercials tend to have nicer wood than the military pistols.
There should be some markings inside but if you decide to remove the grips, do the right grip only. This will allow you to see any markings and to read the left grip's markings through the pistol frame. The fit around that safety is too nice to risk chipping the left grip upon removal.
I'm betting they are original grips.
