I can't think of any protrusion on the left side of the Luger that would make it...
We'll have to wait for confirmation, but my guess is that whatever we're seeing, it was made from the outside. A protrusion from the gun on the inside might leave the apparent bump, but I don't think it would leave that circular mark. Perhaps something of this shape was under the holster during long storage, and perhaps some weight added by other stuff piled on above. And, its appearance in the pic might not be showing the surface as it may truly be. A closeup, maybe lighted obliquely, would help; and from enough angles to show what's going on...

This makes me think of that famous pic of the alleged humanoid face on the moon's surface, which was created by a cluster of hills and the sunlight at a certain angle. Search "pareidolia" for more info!
