Could use a better, larger picture- but I think they are post war German or Austrian nitro proofing of the barrel.

Yup. Eagle/N proof marking. Has been replaced with CIP/N a few years ago.

There are no import markings on the pistol anywhere. Do you think it was a vet bring back in the 1950's?

Was probably sent for repair, imported, or somehow pass through German trade and required re-proof.

No, but it could have been a PX purchase I suppose.

These markings were added well after the pistol was produced, yours should not have them- unless it has a similar post war history.

Yes, negatively; it is not longer in original condition as produced.
