These appear to fit the Mauser frame much better than the DWM, leading me to believe that they are WW-II types.

Could some of the walnut grips have been made from walnut SAPWOOD, the outer layer of the tree? Walnut sapwood is much lighter in color than the brown wood we usually see, sometimes approaching the color of clear maple.
