I think more likely, is that when they transitioned, early units were fitted with red nine grips. Then it became unnecessary with high production and only 9mm Lugers being issued. However as grips wore down or broke, they just pulled grips available and put them on the P-08s, including some marked with the red 9. So this artillery Luger has replacement grips.? Probably the same for Red 9 Broomhandle Mausers.
