Could also explain the differences in the fonts in some guns considered to be force matched? But this is carrying it a little too far. Really, you just can't stamp a "94" on a round firing pin free hand on a table and get it consistently right, same with the other parts. Had to have been done when manufactured in a jig with the same configuration as the part to hold it. We've seen post war East German stampings done on completed gun, some have even dented the frames.
