Sounds like a regular '29 Swiss mag. Not sure about the "tiny lip extension", can't quite picture that. Can you post a picture?

I think the difference is one of nomenclature. Constanzo is calling the '29 Swiss a "1929/06" whereas Davis' reference for "1906/29" is the very few transition pieces (Special Assembly) from the 1906 Waffenfabrik Bern model to the 1929 Waffenfabrik Bern, that were made up supposedly as marksmanship prizes. They had the 1906 frame configuration and the 1929 cannon configuration, and the "hump" on the sideplate extended the full width of the sideplate like the 1929 model.

The '29 mag is as you described, with two retaining pins in the bottom plastic base.
