Markings on 1936 S/42

There are some strange markings on the slide, next to the serial number. I also noticed that the parts that are usually strawed on this year are not, the barrel finish is shiny, the suffix "a" looks a little strange (should it even be on the slide?) and the glossy base of the "matched" mag looks wrong? Repro grips?

I believe the seller is honest (not a Luger guy & selling for someone else)...I'm just curious about this. I'm still (always) learning & wanted to know if my intuition about this one is right.
