Most Luger pistols that Germany was allowed to keep were reissued after WW1 with no modifications, although repairs were performed where necessary. The exception are Police Lugers, which had magazine and sear safeties added, along with renumbered magazines in many cases and renumbered parts.
The Volkspistole was meant as a last ditch armament for civilians, not the military, as pretty much all official pistol production was being consumed by Germany and its last allies.
