Norm, nice Luger. It's very difficult to know for sure. There are many instances of replacement grips on Lugers. Who knows for sure where and when any grips were replaced and by whom.
There are groups of Lugers that had MOSTLY numbered grips and the rest had MOSTLY unnumbered grips. That is from the present data.
Most, if not all, 1940 Lugers had numbered grips when they left the factory IMHO
