Yes sir, quite true.
Additionally, the C/U proof mark came back into usage in East Germany (DDR). In brief the East Germans rolled back the 1939 (Third Reich) proof laws and reverted to the proof laws/marks used before those specified in the 1939 Proof Law.
The C/U proof found on any German firearm may be evidence of more than one provenance.
