Leica LTM Did I just purchase a Frankenstein IIIa?

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
I have a '36 II and '37 IIIa both chrome with the "Wetzlar" at the bottom while my black '32 II has "DRP" at the bottom. They were produced in batches and when the top plate runs out from a previous production run, they were replaced by the current available part so it's hard to draw the line as to exactly when the engraving was changed.

I've serviced 3 Leica IIs and documented my restoration here .

I hope you enjoy shooting with it as I do!
