Rear sights have a couple assembly numbers and pistol numbers(last 2 digits) in at least 3 places.

IIRC, the ones you can see must/should match the pistol serial to be matching.

Of course sight parts are pretty fragile, I expect many were lost or replaced along the way, so yes there are lugers with mismatched rear sights. But they didn't start out that way at DWM.
