P08 6inch Barrel

Hi,
I am not sure this is a Navy barrel. I purchased it on Gunbroker, # 210992276, recently and the pictures there are still up and very good. My intention is to build a shooter with this barrel. The question I have concerns a small land/flat area on what I will call the collar of the barrel. The collar rest against the face of the receiver when the barrel is screws in. The flat area will be in direct line with the extractor and the front sight.

Since the Navy pistol had adjustable sights on the rear toggle I didn't think this was a Navy. I then looked at some pictures of the artillery barrels thinking perhaps this had been one that was cut down after WWI and did not see any flat area on those barrels.

Does anyone have a idea what pistol this barrel may have been made for? The flat area is smooth and looks like ther barrel was mfg with this flat.
