Same thing, just a non-regulation variant in marking. Marking like that is not often encountered so it is not surprising that you had difficulty in finding information. There is a similar type marking but for a different purpose...there are a few Lugers with a 1917/18 marking on them which probably indicates a piece manufactured just at the end of one year/the beginning of the next.
