They were built in two different factories. DWM was a commercial factory with a military contract. Erfurt was a government owned arsenal. Both were built using the same blueprints, but there will be minor variations between them because of manufacturing tolerances. I would guess that most parts might interchange okay, but would require some fitting (DON'T DO IT!)

As a test of this theory, I would bet that if you attempted to change the grips (if they are original to the guns) would not interchange because of minor machine differences. BE REALLY Careful that you don't give yourself the "million dollar chip" at the safety lever if you test fit the grips to the other guns.
