Hi,

The last 2 digits of the serial number on Lugers were stamped on the side plate, toggle , and most of the main parts of the gun. The "42" is a Mauser code but only when on the middle of the toggle. My understaning is a "42" mauser still will have a partial serial number (the last 2 digits of the actual serial number). The 42 stamped sideplate could be from any luger with the last 2 digits of it's serial number being "42". For example 7842, 9142 and so on. The picture link below is a picture of the top of my luger. The byf is also a Mauser code, and notice there is a partial serial number. So imagine a 42 in place of the byf.

If I understand your question correctly the answer would be no. The 42 on the sideplate does not mean it is a Mauser replacmeant part.
