Commemorative Mausers were checkered.
Only a few pre production Mauser Parabellums had smooth toggle knobs. Normal production and commemoratives all had checkered knobs.
Grip safety looks normal to me, but could be a 1906 style replacement.
But one of the reasons Mauser was allowed to take over Swiss tools and drawings in the late 1960s was that W+F had the possibility to have Mauser make spares when needed. I found a few hints about it in the archives but no clear evidence that Mauser actually supplied parts to Bern.
As late as 1969 W+F asked about model 1900 leaf springs... which Mauser could not deliver, as they didn't make them.
