Luger rear sight problem(?)

Thank you. I do reload, and was aware of the possibility of using a heavier bullet to somewhat overcome the excessively low POI. However, what I'd prefer to do is replace the rear toggle segment with a standard P08 type, which should help solve the problem.
The original rear sight may have been ground down, but, if so, it was probably done in conjunction with a rebuild, judging by the appearance of the remaining finish on the various parts, and it is not apparent that there ever was a P08-type rear sight on that toggle segment: the existing rounded rear sight is very neatly done. And, of course, the question remains as to why the original type rear sight might have been altered in the first place, as the existing arrangement makes for a pretty miserable sight picture.
It is a puzzlement...
