Well, side plates for WWI and pre Nazi Lugers would be easy to replace. However remember that Mauser started to number the inside of the sideplate with the first two digits of the gun as well. The way to read it is to look at the numbers on the inside. Serial number 5462 should have the number 55 on the inside and 62 on the outside.
