It was Olle - the lanyard loop was on a P38, IIRC. He made a bunch of them, for eBay I think...

That uses a stepped piece of wire, on both 'legs'. Olle made a nice bending jig to bend them after turning the ends down.

Looking at the Luger CD drawings, I couldn't find the loop itself. But the frame holes are straight, and 2.5mm dia if'n I'm reading it correctly...
