Also, remember that the concept of matching magazines was not important to the average GI who was "picking" up a surrendered Luger. It is only to the collectors years later, that Lugers with matching mag/s have any "value".

The 98k rifle was much easier to stack up horoizitally when the bolt was removed. When a bolt was later refitted to a rifle no one thought of going through the effort to finding the one with the same serial number. In those days there was no "value" in a matched bolt.
