They all match on the gun serial number but the magazine plate and trigger guard are made by a different war time factory I believe, any help I can get would be great and identifying the magazine plate waffen marks I think it's 214 but its hard to see

That is weird. My DOT1943 uses a stamped byf triggerguard but it a Russian capture so its likely not original. My BYF44 though has its own matched and milled triggerguard. One thing that can tell it is that early war waa 214 was Sauer but later war was Berlin or Lubeck.

What about the qnw
Marker above the waffen 214 ? I looked at the factory waffen code and its would be 135
 
qnw?

They being qnw were a unknown manufacturer who manufactured stamped parts for the K98k. I think most of their parts went to dou and dot. They were in the same area as BLM but probably not BLM.
 
e/214 and qnw are totally normal for dou44 triggerguards. e/135 is a Mauser Oberndorf part, but it what was used on dou43/44/45. Totally correct.

All matching DOT 43, vet bring back that I was looking at buying earlier this year but ended up passing on it for some stupid reason... as it always goes I regret not getting it now.:facepalm:

This DOT 43 M block has the e/135 on the stamped floor plate and but doesn't have the "qnw" or "byf" stamped on it. Also, it has e/63 on the receiver between the dot and 1943. See attached pics.
