Conflicting #s

I have a 1940 "42".

At first blush, the parts all appeared to have "Matching Numbers"

On closer examination today:

I noticed a two digit # stamped onto THE INSIDE of the Side/Trigger Plate > which is different from the (matching) Number stamped onto the OUTSIDE of the Side/Trigger Plate.

What Gives?

On another matter:

In Aarron Davis's "The Luger Handbood"

He says that:

The (Original) GRIPS, have the last two digits of the serial number.

I have never seen a serial # on "grips".

Where are they?

What method of application is used (stamp/scribed/Ink/??
