Decided to re-vive this... Yeah, when I bought my luger is was the same setup. All matching except for the sideplate. It had a replacement with "Mickey Moused" sratched numbers and I put one with no numbers. It never occured to be that the sideplates would've been deliberately tossed to de-activate the weapon upon capture. Seems odd that everything else on the gun checks out.
