Any way to identify Bayard Luger parts?

According to Walter's The Luger Book, Bayard in occupied Belgium manufactured some small Luger parts for Erfurt during the later part of the war (WW1). I believe sideplates, firing pins and probably some other small parts.

Is there any good way to identify these parts? I think the sideplates have a different inspection mark than the Erfurt made sideplates, but do not know that for sure. It looks sort of like a stylized "I" as this is the same mark used on the 1908 Bayard pistols made under German occupation. It would be great to somehow identify these contracted parts.
