I am not aware that they have serials on "just about every part". I have owned several over the years and have 6 now. None of the ones I have now have such and I do not remember that any of the others did. One type 99 I now have has 'assembly' numbers on several parts, only bolt and action have the serial along with the assembly number.
I only have one with a mum, a 38 carbine which of course would have been easy to bring or send home without going thru the grinding of captured rifles after the surrender. I have seen several of these with intact mums!100_0352.jpg100_0351.jpg Pictures of my small collection. (top only in pic #1).
