I think you are looking at where the lanyard loop has been removed...
Yup ... lanyard loop holes

I think this is a Frankenluger ... a mixture of parts. JMHO

Being a 1917 slide I doubt it is an Artillery prototype Luger ... earliest known Artillery prototypes were 1912 - 1913

The frame seems to be modified at the stock lug with added metal welded to make a custom lug ... impressive work.
