Interesting, considering WW2 MP40 magazines use "U" as a designation for "or". MP40 magazines are marked;

"MP38 U MP40"

I'm reading the article and noticed something familiar...Someone here posted pics/link to a Luger with a lathe-turned chamber area and extended barrel flange like the one shown in the article (that article pic is below)...

Anybody recall the thread???

I think the "U" is an abbreviation for "und" meaning "and"...it works for both.

You are absolutely right on both.
