Your pistol once had a Walther magazine safety installed about 1934. Part of this modification involved cutting a slot in the frame (not receiver) above the left grip. These devices did not work well and were ordered disabled or removed in 1937. Yours was removed and the slot filled in. The two spots appear to be the result of grinding or buffing to smooth the fill.
