Perhaps, but the loaded chamber indicator on a P.08 is nothing more than the extractor standing proud of the breech block. Granted, it's marked "geladen" but it's still nothing more than the extractor. On the Ruger MKIII, however, (and the P.38 and PP, just to keep it somewhat related to German pistols) the loaded chamber indicator is a separate part that serves no other purpose than to indicate a loaded chamber.
