Riff Contract question

Some time between 1926 and 1931 the Riffs, Berber tribesmen in Morocco, contracted DWM for 2,500 Lugers. These pistols are mentioned in Still Volume 1, Kenyon, and Walter (1977 and 1995).

Published information about these guns is sketchy: they are reportedly in the t and/or u suffix block, Commercial proofs, may have an H66 acceptance mark, and according to Kenyon the serial numbers may be slightly larger than standard, and may be re-serialed.

These sources are all several years old, has any new information come to light since then? Can anyone provide examples, particularly of the larger numbers?
