Grip fonts

Greetings fellow members,
Anyone out in Luger land have any knowledge about whether or not there is a standardization concerning font sizes on grips? I have several Lugers that I feel very comfortable in saying their lineage is without question, but the font sizes are very different. My 1910 DWM for instance has very small numbers, but my BYF 41 has much larger numbers. Both Lugers are war trophies that I acquired directly from the GI who captured them, so I feel it is reasonable to assume the numbers on the grips are not home brewed. Before a conclusion is drawn concerning DWM and Mauser being different, I also have a 1914 DWM with large numbers much like the BYF.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Mike
