Swiss style 9mm late model Mauser.

The 06/29 was the Swiss designation for their pistol. It was not a Mauser model designation.

Mauser started with the 29/70, which is not the 06/29, but Mauser's first attempt at recreating the pistol.

So: 06/29 = Swiss
29/70 = first Mauser Parabellum, straight grip
06/73 = second Mauser Parabellum, P08 style grip

Indeed, there is a period of overlap as Mauser used up 29/70 parts on P08 style frames.

Mauser even reworked 3 06/29 Swiss pistols to be used as demos in 1969. That also caused some confusion. Also some drawing verification models were made that shared more features with the Swiss than the Mauser production models
