Most, if not all, 1942 Banners were Eagle L proofed and many of the later production run 1942s were drilled for a sear safety, but it was not installed. Yours in that regard is unusual, as it is a fairly late 1942 and has an intact sear safety.
All 1942 Police Banners were of the y suffix and there were about 5,500 made that year.

So, from what I gather here, this particular pistol would have been issued with a plastic bottom magazine, same as a BYF Army issue of the same era.
