the DUU just refers to the beginning of your serial number. It is a sequential identifier to when yours was produced. Later serial numbers already have some of the very early design errors corrected. As for the blue spring, push out the rear takedown pin, fold open the upper and lower, look at your main hammer spring. Is it blue?

There are no dumb questions. This is a great forum and we all have different levels of experience. We exist (at least I do) to offer support to one another, so ask away and do not fear the "dumb question" here.

It means that you have the updated springs. Fire away and enjoy them.

The reason for some of the rifles not having a flash suppressor or threaded barrel is they were intended as state compliant models. For those state governments that have tactical weapon restrictions.
