A fresh update,
I found a source in Hungary who is doing some local investigation. No luck so far, but to him the 'Foreign' translation of "K�¼" did make sense.
What also intrigues me is the appearant lack of normal letter-suffixes on "K�¼" lugers, opening up a theory about "K�¼" simply being a custom letter suffix.
This can also shed some light on the matter, as in 'K' for the month in which the guns were put together and �¼ for �¼berholt (reworked) to set them apart from normal serial numbers. But, this does not explain the luftwaffe markings....It would however put 'production' somewhere in late 1942.
I'm continuing to track down the ilusive mid-1942 delivery contract of German equipment to the Hungarians.
