Hello Mike

I think that the magazines bottoms have been exchanged, just to get a nicer look... silver with silver ( your Dad should have done it ..)

The aluminium bottom was only issued with black magazines...

wood bottoms belong to the WWI period

It is well known that german troops on "West-Front" got any kind of remaining supplies... ( as for example 1896 Lebel rifles) could be that your Luger is a post WWI 3rd choice rebuild for " Landsturm troops "
There was not only Panzergrenadiers in the battle of Normandy ....
