The markings you describe are all Belgium proof and acceptance markings. It's not a Browning , they are clearly marked as such. In fact most of the well known Belgium pistols , Melior, Bayard, Piper, Heneard, Clements, Reunies are so marked either on the frame or the grips as to the manufacturer.
A couple of the earlier Pipers and Clements lacked definite ID markings but they had the makers logos on the grips. As stated only a picture can help ID it. As to the acquisition of the fire arm, I've found that 99 and 99/100 of all the bring backs were taken from high ranking SS officers. I'm beginning to think that the German Army had no enlisted soldiers
