From what I can see the top cannon does not match the frame? Can you rundown the matched or mismatched parts? Firing pin, barrel, toggle pin, grips etc?
From the description in Kenyon there was a hole in the barrel for this pressure test..This seems to be without as per your description but a further look at serial numbers could shed some light here.
Interesting piece. I think for pricing purposes authentication is in order. If the pistol will stand up to a through inspection.. pricing would be worthwhile. If it cannot be authenticated pricing is a moot point.
Second to all the serial numbers is to wash out the whiting from the symbols etc. to determine their method of application. Engraved or stamped. That should again shed some light.
It seems the theory that this is Mauser S/42 Precision/Accuracy Test Luger is somewhat odd considering that the pistol is made up of a strange combination of mismatched parts?
The frame, the top cannon and the sideplate all appear to be mismatched.
