C96 question - safety lever

Please note there is an acceptance stamp on the right side of the chamber. The barrel must be 9m/m cal originally. No other known original 7,63 barrel bears s/n 84707 (or 4707, if we assume the leading 8 was an add-on) and acceptance stamp.... even if we assume that acceptance stamp was an add-on as well (highly unlikely), that shape of barrel taper area is almost impossible to modify and its current shape definitely points wartime production. Also, the shallow relief cut on the top right side of the magazine follower also matches 9x19 style.

Could you also post picture showing the top of the rear sight ramp with slide set to 500? If we assume the sight ramp was modified from flat 50-500 style to steep 50-1000 style, it will be very interesting to see the worksmanship of modification.
