Neither. It depends on the particular state and when the sear safety was added. For example, Prussian Schupo and Landjägerei apparently added both soon after the order was issued in 8/1933. However, by about 1936, the mag safeties were recognized as not being a good idea and in 1937 the Prussians ordered them removed. States that waited until 1936 or so apparently never installed the mag safeties.
