Mike,
I'm curious to know your information source?
The toggle lock, as one detail of the "Old Model" toggle system, remained a feature of the Parabellum through the 1904 Navy and "1903 (French) Commercial" transitional models.
I know of no evidence that the "1902" (short, Type 2 frame) Parabellums were made before 1902. Walter, The Luger Story, suggests they were not made until sometime after that year, an opinion I am coming to share.
