The photos answer my questions. It does not and should not have a sear or mag safety.

I'm no expert on mags but this one certainly had several different over its lifetime. Since it was issued to barracked Schupo who were taken into the military in 1934-35, the mags you have are probably as close as you can get. I'm puzzled by the suffix on one of them since the gun has no sufffix. The 3 on the other strongly suggests a police mag. But the serial numbers match. I don't really know what to say.
