Just found something else, Kenyon's Lugers At Random, pg 266 indicates that in mid 37 the blueing process was changed from rust blue to salt blue and included the usually strawed parts. Apparently ther are both types out there, Brandon, you might just have the later 37 model that DOES have the normally strawed parts blued. Too many references, too little time and too many descrepancies. I hope that this is the case, I havent ran a serial number check to see which range yours falls into, but then do you really want to know?
