Your C130554 does appear in the book. I think you'll find this interesting.

C124404 - C131885, 500 pistols in this group, to Lloyd Brasilero, New York, Minister of Marine, Govt. of Brazil. March 26 1922.

Many thanks Steve!
I have a volunteer double function in the State of São Paulo Police Museum (Brazil) as a Legal advisor and Firearms Curator.

One of the guns that we have in our Collection is this Government Model. According to Clawson's book it was to be part of a group of pistols assigned to Brazilian Battleship "Minas Geraes". The information you provided makes sense in this context. I am beginning to think in an article about this, made to be published in USA.
