1939 Berlin "Odd" Holster?

Looks like a P-38 holster to me with the auto lift strap and the leather block sewn inside the right side behind where the mag pouch used to be.This holster NEVER started out to be a P-08. It was made for a P-38. You can tell this by the shape of the body where the pistol handle is. Nothing like the P08 shape.

If you look inside you can see where the stitching is still there from the old mag pouch.

This holster/type would never have had a tool pouch in the top flap. Nor would it ever have a mag pouch sewn on the front.

The really unusual thing about it is the buckle assembly closure. Unlike it's P-38 brethren which have the metal bale closure.
I can't recall ever seeing one of these.
