You're right but it's not that uncommon to find a double date without stock lug.
Am I wrong to say that for instance stock lugs on P08s used by the Wiesbaden Schupo command were removed by the police, probably at the insistence of French occupation forces based largely on a similar practice in the French-occupied portions of Hessen and of Wiesbaden after WWI as they feared that stock lugs would have eased the use of these Lugers as carbines.
