Generally, where are the import marks located? I've been looking all over my P5 and can't find any. I haven't pulled the grips off yet. Wondered if there might be some under there. Maybe this P5 doesn't have any either.

That is a common area to engrave the firearm that is used by many importers but with the magazine inserted, it is barely as conspicuous as the law requires.
All that is necessary to put a small and not awkward marking on a firearm is a laser engraver. Simpson is the go-to source for many who import firearms here because they are known, as is Bock the known exporter in Germany. Smartest is to use an importer/exporter who consolidates shipments to save on freight and customs clearance fees.
That tiny Simpson laser-engraved mark is relatively new for them, they really upped their game by going that route a few years ago. Nothing much worse than a giant billboard on the slide or the old dot matrix stamps applied at some jacked up angle like they could not be bothered to even try. I sold a beautiful NIB (and scarce) commercial PP Super a few years ago just because I couldn’t get past the off-angle importer mark on the slide. YMMV
