He mentioned that the grips are plastic in the PDF and kenyons book mentioned that code "42" had either walnut or plastic grips.

Probably miss match toggle and magazine.

I'd load it up and shot the HELL out it! That's just me though.

I would imagine that the marking number is referring to this sites examples, number 46 is a Mauser proof.
