The upper and lower were "assembled" together sometime in the last 76 years, almost certainly not by any official German service organization. The liklihood of any "unit" having two consecutively numbered 42 police Lugers to confuse together is vanishingly small.
No wishful explanation will ever make this anything other than a mis-matched pistol. Manage your expectations and pay accordingly.
