Great resource. I have a 1914 Erfurt Art luger with D/i\ on the receiver. I have not been able to confirm that these were issued to Australian defence force members in WW2, however, there are requests for lugers in the unit diary of the 2/6th independent company (which became 6th commandos) where they requested lugers be issued to reduce the number of types of ammunition needed to be carried. The standard side arm was .38 revolver, Ownen SMG 9mm and of course rifle, LMG and HMG were .303.
