Mike,
Welcome to the forum.
Mismatched Lugers are the rule rather than the exception, hence the collector interest and premium paid for them.
The mix and mis-match is due, in most cases, NOT to unit armorers, but to the inattention of GIs from many nations who were detailed to disassemble, clean, preserve and reassemble captured Lugers during the immediate post-war period.
I can remember from my youth the wonderful pictures in the Hy Hunter catalogues showing a couple or 3 GIs, with gallon buckets of GI bore cleaner and piles of Lugers several feet high that were being disassembled for preservation. There were many disassembled Lugers on the table at the same time.
As far as the parts not being compatible, it isn't a big deal from a functional standpoint. Generally speaking, all OEM parts from 1904 forward were pretty much 100% interchangable, exceptions being the side plate, most notably.
So enjoy your shooter and when you decide to move up in the collector realm, feel free to consult members here.
