While I don't doubt your clarification, I see that I'm not the only one who has read here that all Erfurts had the notch...I don't recall who said [wrote] it, but it did stick in my memory...Crowding out more important facts, like what I had for dinner last Tuesday...

Erfurt made Artilleries in 1914 only, but they evidently had a lot of surplus notched receivers which they used up later in the war. Here's a 1916 Erfurt with no notch. Regards, Norm
