Norinco 1911s with alphanumeric serials?

In my endless quest for a used Norinco ( there's plenty of new here, i just want it used. This way I can look at the barrel and see how it behaved )
i found someone selling it some 400 miles from me. I asked for pics, and although they're dark and blurry, I can see no peening to the slide stop notch, no slide/dustcover rubbing, and a very nice SET of idiot marks. Yep, not just one, it's a whole family of 'em.

Seller still didn't understand the "mail me a pic of the barrel from up top, where I can see the lugs"..
He sent me a picture of the whole gun. from up top.

Nyway, gun shows a weird SN#. it's not just numerical, like yours. Serial is BA161XX. Last two digits are numbers.
Weird, huh?
