I collect police lugers also, and do not consider them "forced" match when they have period replacement parts that were numbered to the pistol. They have matching numbered parts, not necessarily those they left the factory with as you point out; this includes the sometimes "ugly" cross outs and over stamps of the RC and Vopo pistols, though often they include these re-numbered replacement parts and other non matching parts that were not re-numbered.
