'The puzzlement I have is all the parts are stamped 2544 or 44 even the magizine ".

No big mystery here, as the Germans stamped the big parts with the full number (frame, barrel, and barrel extension (Upper receiver) and magazine), and just the last 2 numbers on the small parts.

As Alan mentioned, the x where you describe it is indicative of Russian capture. They also re-stamped parts and magazines to match the gun, but then without seeing photos...
