All looks good to me. The '3' in '1939' is very distinctive on crosses from this maker.

In what way is the frame distinctive?

The beading on the inner corners is very unique and easy to identify and also on the outer corners. (For me at least - Fabri may have something else in mind.)

Yes in my opinion the frame is very distinctive in the 4 inner corners . Normally I don't see the other corners in the L/54s.
The other thing, typical of this frame, is the curvature that tends to be negative when arrives near the corner/center, please take a look where indicated (green).

Thanks fabri! The beading thing I can see clearly now but the negative curvature?? Not sure what i'm looking at there, probably if i had the EK in hand I could see better.
