Andy,
my contribution to this issue is pure speculation. Besides fixing a grip panel I do not see any other reason to place cloth or paper between grip and panel.
The 9 on the label looks a bit strange to me. I still remember my mother who went to school during the 3rd Reich period. The 9 that she wrote looked different. It was more like a 'g' . And I am convinced that in this time scholar drill dit not tolerate different variations of letter writing.
But as said before, it is speculation.
Regards , Armin.
