Mystery 1939

Hey guys, another question. I'm looking to replace the front toggle link with a period correct one. Since it's a 1939 with a serial number of 1369 and what looks like a v suffix (see photos). I would want an S/42 coded link, correct? I believe I read there were 42 and S/42 codes used in 1939, so I want to be sure. Strangely, it looks like the rear toggle may be correct as the two digit number on there matches the serial number on the gun (69). The photo doesn't show that number very well. Would a 1939 rear toggle have a crown over B proof? Hmmmm.
