What's the purpose?

So it's ok to replace parts, as long as they have the same font, and still maintain the s/n are all matching? It might be worthwhile to collect data of fonts used in certain date ranges. Not that I'm volunteering as I have no collector interest. Now that I've reached senior status I have been acquiring guns of many types that are older than me. All are shooters and I reload and even cast bullets for most.
I guess, if I were a collector, I would always have doubts about these sidearms, unless I had first hand knowledge of origin. For me that would be receiving it from the GI who brought it back.
