Nice,

the Magazine safety hole is clearly there where it belongs.

Re. to the welding techinques used. Since there was no MIG or TIG welding equipment, I guess that when welding was done, it was old fashioned arc welding or hard soldering. Although I have some welding experience (including my certificate :P ), I don't know a lot about vintage welding techniques.

The 'extruded' tube of the Haenel magazines was actually welded, and we know of modern welding techniques used in the creation and modification of the 1970s - 90s Mauser Parabellum.
