Sorry, I have to take it back.

Both the frame and the barrel are slightly longer than DWM 1923.

Mauser's Barrel is 4". DWM 1923 is slightly shorter.

Why frame being longer,,,, I have not looked up the reference yet. Probably due to this frame was based on Swiss, and Swiss was based on early DWM. DWM made changes later, but Swiss did not follow.
