Is my pistol a so called "Black Widow"?

I recently became the very lucky recipient of a great mans P-08 collection. It seemed like he had one of almost every variant. An artillery 7.65, an American Eagle 7.65, double dated 1920/1915(w/2 matching mags and matching holster) a 1940 with the reich acceptance mark, even a stoeger .22. They all have subtle differences but this last one stands out. Darker finish, darker grips, and a piece on top just behind where the barrel meets the upper the piece with the round chambered indicator, that has an amber tint. It's an s/42 dated 1936. Is this a black widow?
