1918/1920 DWM Police P 08 - a little different

At some point, I think third reich era, you see curved and flat threes on the same guns.

So that is not a surprise if reworked.

Could be it was restamped because the other stamping irritated the inspector? But I would think at a factory, if being re numbered, a new frame would be used. But what order is the left side serial stamped? If one on the last, they might have said, it's fine...
