Unspel.,

In my broken parts survey three years ago there were two broken breechblocks and two broken rear toggle links reported. I have seen pictures online of Lugers with chips out of the top face of the breechblock on either side of the extractor (I think I examined one, as well), and iirc there have been a couple of reports of damaged toggle-train parts since then. There have also been reports of cracked receiver extensions.

I have no record or recollection origin of any of these parts, DWM or Mauser.
