If whcoyote is correct (and why not?), then only Erfurts had the notch without actually being artilleries. Your DWM would have been an artillery originally. DWM would have added the extra machining step for arties; Erfurt decided to make them all with the notch (until artilleries were discontinued - in 1914 you say?).
Makes sense. Or as much sense as anything in the Luger world.
Let's keep going. Discussion poses more questions; which prompts more answers.
