Wow, very nice for a shooter, congrats. I would say the takedown lever is also a replacement numbered as it is.

If you want to make it look even more like it was originally you could remove the bluing from the end of the bar that is moved down by the grip safety (the name escapes me at the moment).

Right, I'll polish the tip of the grip safety, and put the toggle latch back into the white or straw- once I decide which it should be.

As to the TD lever- it is correct numbered on the face- just check out Dwight's commercial list; and many of the AE's in this serial range are not stamped "Germany" on the frame- go figure.

I've not seen one stamped Germany on the toggle either, I wonder if the mod was done there?
