The notch is a recess that is intended to allow the rear sight of an artillery model to be fully lowered. I understand that some Erfurt lugers used receivers previously made for artillery models on P08's, or just didn't change the tooling and continued cutting the notch after LP08 pproduction ceased. I don't know of DWM doing the same. Then it could be a converted LP08.
