I have gone through all the threads in both Forums,looked at most large dealers for 1916 DWM and !916 Erfurts. Found a few but most did not have pictures, serial numbers or sear bar info.
With very limited information I can only conclude that:

1. Out of 90000 Erfurts produced in 1916 at least 84698 were made with relieved sear bars.

2. Out of 140000 1916 DWM's produced at least 135052 were with relieved sear bars. This unfortunately is based on one 1916
DWM serial #6948 with relieved sear bar. On Simpsons site there is a 1916 DWM SN 21XX with relieved sear bar but it has been restored so?

Would still like data on 1916 DWM's and 1916 Erfurts. Thanks Bill
