The wedge is installed correctly in the photos; that is, from the left to the right looking from the back, with the spring on the top. It will be difficult to install/remove until the gun gets a little wear on it.

The markings are consistent with a 3rd Gen Colt. It's just the serial numbers that are apparently discrepant. Interestingly, the locations are correct, it's just the format that's incorrect, or perhaps just unusual.
