If you take a look at period photo's you will notice many German Soldiers wore the Luger holster on their left hip towards the front of the body. This facilitated the withdrawal of the pistol with the right hand and put the holster in a much more convenient position for carry. Lifting the strap with the left hand while withdrawing with the right. You will see this type of carry more often than on the right hip.
I have never seen a left handed German Luger holster, commercial or Military. Might be some but I have never seen it.
I believe Sarco made a bogus Cavalry model that was left handed or reversed anyway.
