Default A Question on Grips

The grips on my new code 42 1940 Luger are matching but not numbered. In addition to the E/655 acceptance stamps there are some strange stampings on each grip. Each different.

I tried searching but didn't find anything to explain them. Perhaps someone here can interpret them for me.

I've included a photo but don't have the software to allow me to draw circles and arrows so I'll have to explain what they are and where they're located on the photo.

Inside the left grip at the lower left is the E/655 mark and next to it at 7 o'clock is a squared off "U" or "C". And, at the top of the grip, right next to the mag release cutout is a very distinct "O". (Don't know if it's a zero or an o.)

Inside the right grip, in the lower right side of the photo there is a clearly marked "S". (Just above it at 10 o'clock is the E/655 acceptance. Higher, in the center of the grip, just below where the mag release cutout is located, is an "M" or "W". It's very difficult to see in my crappy photo but it's there and very distinct.

Can anyone tell me if these mark have any meaning or were they simply marks made by the workers?

And, part two of the question; would these grips be "correct" and "original" to the gun pictured in my separate thread?

Here's the picture. Thank you for any responses.
