Question Why was this part modified?

While looking around the Luger-genesis website, I came across this strange toggle assembly. Can anyone explain why portions were cut out? Could it have been used in one of the cut-away pistols used for educational purposes?

I've never seen anything like this.....

Could be the missing section with DWM or Erfurt has been removed as a block to use as a pantograph engraving master, for boosting or renewal purposes.

another guess is to lighten the toggle train weight to increase lock time.

Perhaps for some Sub-caliber Conversion ?

I agree with Dwight. It's from a cutaway for display or training.
