Wartime mags?

Let me make another hypothesis. Lugers were apparently used in the Great War by trench patrols. Common military practice would be to issue pistols and magazines when the patrol was sent out and to collect them when they returned. Magazines would have been removed, reloaded if necessary and reissued for the next use. If this was the practice, magazines would quickly have been scrambled. Just a thery with no evidence. One of the questions I should have asked my grandfather.
