On the contrary, Boehler barrels are original to some 1913 and 1914 DWM P08s. They were not used as replacements.

George, I corrected my post. Thank You!

(I'll make a mental note that Bȍhler barrels were not used as replacements).

May as well get it all out-
Boehler did not make the barrels, only the steel- which in some cases was tracked by DWM(who did make the barrels) and the barrels subsequently marked with the lot number of the Boehler steel from which they were produced.

I didn’t even know there was lettering under the barrel/on the frame, so I’m excited to see what it means.
Yes, looks good!
