Here's a couple pics of my commercial 7.65 Luger, with sideplate off & installed...

They are numbered (usually) on the bottom of the sideplate, but there are un-numbered ones around...Sarco, Numrich, or Lugerdoc should be able to fix you up with a sideplate assembly (3 parts)...

Look around the house that Luger was in...It should be around someplace...
