I don't want to claim expertise which I do not have so I will respond cautiously here.

The Parabellum book, on page 100 shows the extractor with the hump and says that it is a substitution made by W+F and that this modification usually accompanied the rear sight modification (making the notch into a "U".

I believe the gun I have is commercial. I wonder if Jim's is commercial too and Doug's could be military.

There are a few other pictures which show the extractors of a few guns in this book. I am not certain whether the point is made that all blue ones with the hump are military or not.
