sej-gun here are a few more thoughts on your questions.
1. Not only the units listed by you but also pioneers, Minenwerfer and infantry during the war. I have seen one photograph of an observer in an airplane armed with an LP08. During the Weimar period we know that naval units had LP08's but I do not know what specific units.
2. The TM magazine and Kasten were certainly used by Stosstruppen but were also probably used by others as well. Many were used in 1918 by Stosstruppen with the MP18. During the early Weimar period the MP18, TM08 and Kasten are often seen in use by police.
Hope this helps.
