Hi Quentin, I can't speak about the toggle and receiver, but I don't think there is a great possibility to identify these parts. Now the frame. Serial number 4547i could be from a 1936, 1938, 1940 or 1942 Mauser Luger.

If the rear of the frame doesn't have a Mauser "Hump", it's from a 1936.

If the rear part of the left side, just in front of the safety lever is marked P.08, then it's from a 1942.

If it isn't from 1936 or 1942, then it's either from a 1938 or 1940!!

Hope this helps!!
