Gewehr 98 to K98 conversion

I recently picked up a rifle at a gun show which is quite the mixed bag. As far as I can tell it is Gew.98 everything except the stock, handguard, front and rear barrel bands, and maybe some other parts. Here is a dump of pictures. I would like to know a little about the following markings I have found on it:

A small Z in a circle stamped on the safety, on the bottom when the safety is engaged (.-) and the top when it is not (-.)

And the large connection of markings on the underside of the receiver.

The underside is factory markings. What is more interesting is receiver code barrel code, and if the stock matches and so on
