Post Match Magazines and Holster

I recently acquired a DWM Luger made in 1916, serial number 8565k. It has been overstamped 1920. I came with two magazines, both aluminum bottomed, with the magazine body blued on one the other left bright. The one magazine has the serial number 8565 but the letter is o not k so I know it's a mismatch. It also has the number 1 above the serial number. The second magazine has the number 8565 without a suffix letter stamped on the base, and the number 2 above it. Is the second one also a mismatch? I assume the 1 and 2 indicate the primary and spare magazine?

It also came with the loading tool with matching serial number without suffix stamped on the shaft and on the opposite side and a small crown over an unreadable letter. Is this correct for the pistol?

It came with a holster which is dated 1932. I'm not able to read the maker's name, but there is a sunburst under the year. The serial number without the suffix letter has been stamped on the back of the holster to the right of the year. Is this correct? I'm assuming this would have been a pistol issued to the Reichwehr. Is this correct?
