The pistol was likely refinished.

The numbers you found would be a unit mark identifying the military unit and weapon number.

I was wondering if perhaps the "R" in the grip marking might actually be a "B". Might have part of the letter erased with the refinish. Could you look at it again?

Photo of grip front attached

First letter does not look like a B
