Pentax K-50 Bodies purchased at auction

I bought several pentax k50 bodies only. But none of them have serial numbers. Why is that? could they be floor models or fakes?

Maybe demo (likely if they're in different colors), maybe pre-production, maybe stolen, maybe restored. Do you have photos?

Maybe taken in as defective and sold as a lot. I remember rumors of such when the Denver warehouse was closed.

Also maybe culls from the assembly line or gray market with an exotic history!

How can serial be missing? No sticker on bottom?
What language is the menu? Do the cameras even work? Really interesting
