1936 S/42 Trigger Plate Stamp

Hello all. I have an opportunity to purchase a really nice 1936 S/42 that is being described as 'all numbers matching'. My understanding based on research is that the trigger plate (side plate) should be stamped with the last two digits of the serial number. The plate on this gun has the stamp in the below photo. It looks like an upper case B with a crown over the top. Is this original to the gun or has the plate been changed? Thank you for the help.
