Artillery Holster & Stock markings

I had wondered about the Persian connection - now I know what to look for. I also came across something interesting in an auction going on now:

To me, the font and, for that matter, the whole serial numbers do not look right. The number on the slide is also slanting upward, as if each number was individually stamped. The "4" on the slide, the side plate, under the barrel and on the stick all look to be from the same die and different from any "4" I've seen on a luger -with the "4" open at the top. With the exception of the side plate, the other two digit #s look okay to me. I'm relatively new to this, but have experience in other makes - just my .02 worth, but things don't look right here.
