On page 331 of Hallock and van de Kant's 'The Mauser Parabellum' there is another example and rack mate to your Luger. It is classified as a Mauser Commercial Banner, and is a "late war assembled commercial"...
Serial #9232w, only three guns apart from yours.
No proofs
Military (42) dated receiver and military P.08 coded frame
Square dot betwwen P and 08 on frame indicating 1942 manufacture
Rounded edges of late front toggle link
Strawed parts
Bakelite grips
There is another example with no proofs on page 333 which is very similar. S#9323w. Military (42) dated receiver, but has a rounded dot between the P and 08 on the frame, indicating 1941 manufacture.
