Default P08 to p38 conversion?

I just picked up this 1942 P08 holster and have some questions. I was told that it was converted to hold a P38 pistol. I read online that some holsters were converted late in the war. The stiching and craftsmanship looks excellent, maybe too good. The shortened mag pouch is of a darker color than the holster. There is a small cut in the top to make it close a little narrower. It is in nice shape as you will see from the photos. I would like to know if it is a genuine military conversion or done in some leather shop stateside.
Thanks,
