The numbered, matching parts on a Luger are normally the frame, barrel, receiver (full serial number) then other parts that have the last two digits. The other parts include the take-down lever, trigger, grips (if wood, for some model years but not all), side plate, breech bolt, front and rear toggles, toggle pin, firing pin and hold-open.
As post #7 points out, it appears your gun was re-worked and therefore it is overly harsh to call the re-numbering "fake". The renumbering is part of the gun's history, for its new service post-capture.
We would need to see high quality photos of each numbered part to answer your question of which parts have been renumbered. Experienced collectors can often tell by the letter style, strike depth etc. when a part has been renumbered. To my eye, the front toggle number doesn't look right and is therefore likely renumbered, the other photos are not clear enough to answer your question.
Your comment re: shooting the weapon actually tracks with the practices of collectors. Pistols such as yours are often sought specifically for their utility as firearms to be shot ("shooters") precisely because the mis-matched numbers create a piece where breakage of a part via use now does not hurt the overall value of the piece. Whereas, a Luger where the parts all match and the gun is in good or better original condition suffer a big value decline if a numbered part breaks.
Congratulations on your find, I think it looks great and should give you a lot of pleasure as both a good example and a fun pistol to fire. Also, it has a number of its original proof marks and that bit of history adds to the interest. Sometimes those proofs are lost when the gun is refurbished, but your pistol has proofs on the right side of the receiver and barrel that remain from its original German manufacture as a pistol for the German military.
