I gave thought to the same idea, but all the other numbering is according to the military pattern. This is another shot of the top example:

Same thing with the other one. Here's a photo, but can't see the safety blade:



But when you look at those extractors they just don't look like replacements. I say that because I see no peening in the mortise, and all surfaces and lines are matched. Of course, it could have been replaced, ground to match contours, polished, and refinished, but people rarely seem to go to such lengths with less than extraordinary Lugers.

I dunno!
