why so many toggles swapped in VOPOs?

Mismatched parts is not confined to the P08. When the new double action 38 Colt revolvers performed poorly in the Philippines the army refurbished some 45 caliber single actions. They threw the parts in bins, shortened the barrels, refinished the pistols and reassembled the pistols with no regard to serial numbers. Needless to say, these pistols are not worth much to collectors.
