Banner stamp error or irregularity

On this Luger, there are no acceptance stamps along the right side of the barrel extension where they are ususally found on military guns. The toggle does not seem to have been scrubbed, or it would have visibly lost metal height, which it hasn't.

Are we sure that the Mauser 'banner' were roll-stamped by Mauser ?

When I locate my 30x power hand microscope, ( a Radio Shack item ) I will look at the stamp to see if there are any pantographic-looking wiggles in the 'banner'.

I know it's apples and oranges, but this one made it out of the Colt factory in 1947 (2nd series, two digit serial #, first year series production). Haven't seen too many 4 speared Colts around:
