Although they weren't supposed to, some units did mark their 1911s. That could be the reason for the number, as there is no other reason why it would be there.
As for the barrel, you didn't say whether your pistol is a Colt or a Remington-UMC. If it's the latter then the barrel is correct. If it's a Colt then the correct barrel would have an H and a P with the legs perpendicular to the axis of the bore.
