In my imagination, German would not re-number that magazine to make it match. Why did German care that number, it shoots then it's OK, it's just a tool in its era.

Let's assume viewers ignore that magazine and bid accordingly, so let's put the magazine aside. Not a big deal as long as it's not counted. The right panel does not fit the gun well, most likely it's a replacement. Let's also assume it's German did it. The left panel fits well, but has a chip on upper corner. Let's assume that caused by battle usage. The safety lever was refinished, let's assume it's done by German field gunsmith...... the list could go on and on....

If the attractive point is nice bore, it might perform well, it has some value, but should be described accordingly.

I don't have Mauser Luger. Am I wrong in the observation?
