Would this be an older blade made to fit the police mounts?

 

More than likely no.

I have a similar Meiji period police tanto/dirk and the tang is more or less identical except for the markings which are probably just assembly numbers.

The blade is not traditionally made and is through hardened as opposed to differentially hardened(hamon).
