Vickers Dutch East Indies Luger

Heinz, Still's Weimar Lugers, page 291, states that most, but not all parts were made by DWM and shipped to England for completion. Certainly, on close inspection of various Vickers pieces, one would also come to the conclusion that various parts, such as the barrel (unique front sight), side plate (narrower or shorter island), the grip safety (different sloping shape of the part that touches the rear grip strap, and a cut out portion on the top) and perhaps even the frame (different milling marks) were Vickers made. One would think that records from the early 1920's would be still available to solve this mystery once and for all, but where are they?
