Picture of Beretta 92FS is here:

So today is Father's day, and I went to my local state fair gun show hoping to find a Makarov for my father for home defense. Obviously, I didn't find a Makarov but instead picked up a used Beretta. Yeah, I bought another gun, and even though I cannot afford to eat out for like the next 10 years...
It was a used PS Beretta 92FS with tritium night sights being sold by an elderly gentleman in his 80s, who could hardly talk or walk. He was a decent guy though. But anyway, I picked it up for $450 total. It was in excellent condition with 99% of originial blueing and excellent bore, etc.
Here are my two questions:
1. My friend also has a 10 yo Beretta 92FS but his slide has the beretta "three arrows" brand stamped on the it. My gun has this weird "PS" logo stamped on it and with a "beretta USA", next to it. The grip however does have the "three arrows" logo.
2. What the heck is wrong with the chamber loaded indicator? I load a snap-cap in the chamber, and the chamber loaded indicator (see picture three) does not protrude out at all! Then when I pulled the trigger, the indicator protruded out for a 1 sec and then went back in as the hammer hits the firing pin. I disassembled the gun, and tested the switch, it seemed to work fine.
This chamber loaded indicator resembles the firing pin disconnector switch found on the walther P38 and Taurus PT92, and now I am wondering whether this piece is in fact a chamber loaded indicator, or is it a firing pin disconnector switch connected to the trigger.
Any input will be appreciated!
