Ok,
-fluted firing pin was introduced and ordered by the Reichswehr in 1930 and retrofitted to many earlier lugers. So was not a Mauser improvement.(Pistole Parabellum, green, p-1074).
-Mauser hump- may have solved one of the rare problems that must have happened due to wear or ?? A malfunction that I have also never experienced, but makes sense-kind of like belt and suspenders. Mauser first added the hump, then substituted a longer flat back frame, found it caused a problem with the tail of the toggle striking it, and went back to the hump. Kreighoff used the longer flat frame for all production per Pistole Parabellum.
-Mauser did not add a gas escape hole, the Finn's did.
Numbering of the rear toggle axle was also introduced by Reichswehr or police armorers , not Mauser.
Luger minutiae, I have too much time I guess!
Thanks for taking the overtime to answer!
