There might be additional machining required, but for military guns, the introduction and sustaining of an addtional type of gun part into the inventory systems would be more costly than one additional machining operation at the time for manufacture.
The NEW Mausers don't have to compete with existing Lugers... they are commemoratives and the types of parts they use could be unique to themselves and not have to worry about interchangeeability between them and wartime models.
