Mark, my gut feeling is that it is a rework, but the obvious use (which is always a good sign to me of authenticity), shows a rework from long ago?
Under the grips are there assorted alphabit letters stamped around (I've seen this on other guns, but my weimars have seen it more often?)...
I think your first impression is more true, left over parts, but this is simply a WAG.
