Eurfurt 1918

I had the pleasure of handling a 1918 Erfurt this weekend as a special guest of a national arms museum. I notice that all the serial numbers matched including the mag. The only mismatch was the side plate which had a number 1 less than the rest of the gun. Gun serial no = xx32 and the side plate had 31 stamped on it. Also the mag had the complete number. Any comments, as it seems to me most unlikly that the side plate arrived by chance
