Excellent pictures. The I.T.D. and II.T.D. (1st & 2nd Torpedo Divisions) were among the major users of the SG1911s shown in the photos, and their "class photos" are by far the most commonly encounter ones with matrosen holding P.04s. The 1st looks to be the II.T.D. in Wilhelmshaven
The second photo appears to be the Minen Abteilung, which was in Cuxhaven. Although they were also issued the SG1911s, their photos are not often seen.
I have a number of T.D. photos, but have none of the M.A. One of the Navy collectors on the two Luger forums scored an M.A. marked SG1911 at SoS in Louisville a couple of years ago. A very nice find.
