Hard to see details from those photos, but it appears to me that it is a police rework, with police-assigned magazines, modification for a sear safety and possibly magazine safety.
You are correct that in its earlier life as a 1918 Military pistol it would have had 2 matching wood bottomed magazines.
Better photos would help.

Definitely. You can see the rivet hole above the sear and the cut in the top of the sideplate.

IMO, being a police conversion does not diminish its value. I like the whole idea of a police Luger. The only Luger better would be a VoPo police Luger, with all the trimmings (sear safety, magazine safety, both intact and functioning and a pair of correctly numbered and stamped Police issued magazines).
