Whats with the '9' on the grips on some artillerys?

All military Lugers were 9mm, so why did some Lugers have "9" on grip. I guess it's also related with Mauser 7.63mm issued to German army in WWI. German army was a conscript army, not professional soldiers. When some people could mistakenly load 9mm into 7.63mm pistol, why couldn't a few wrongly load DWM 403 into Luger? The chamber would fit. Probably most knew Luger being 9mm, but when there were a few million of men, every type of people existed.

Is there a "9" on CC?
