The plate on your gun now looks a bit like it was force fit to the gun. There is apparent grinding that isn't square on the frond edge of the plate.
As long as the rest of the linkage wasn't "adjusted" to make the plate fit, you should be able to get a DWM plate to properly fit. This is hand work and can take some experience and skill to do properly.
Do download the FAQs. It is a good reference.

I have a good smith that will be working on it, he is not cheap but he is familiar with the process. Thanks for the clarification on the Mauser vs. DWM side plates. I am about 99% sure this is DWM as there is no crown proof on it like most Erfurts seem to have.
Cheers!
