Actually, the bullets are the same length, but the American manufacturers simply don't load them out far enough to obtain proper OAL for the Luger.

The P-38 and practically every other newer design doesn't need a precise AOL for proper feeding and function, thus, OAL has become less critical with the ammo manufacturers.
