GVV, I develope my theory based not only on the fact that by 1941 or 42, Mauser was undoubtedly very busy turning out other small arms for the army, but the LZA (Luftwaffe Ornance Depots) did have a certain amount of expertise regarding PO8s by then, having done repair work on them since 1936. Mauser no longer needed their PO8 tooling and jigs, having switched over to P38 production, and finally, the LZA acceptance only appears on the Ku production PO8s and not those made at KH. TH.
