You are probably looking at a number of "forced match" parts. Look closely at numbers such as the sideplates and see if metal was ground off in order to add a new number. THe "X"d out serials usually indicate a Russian Capture and posibly East German issue pistol. The matching magazines would indicate this as well.
If it were truly an all matching, including magazines gun I would not shoot it.
