Another Odd Weimar Navy Luger

IMHO...and I am just guessing...but the side plate does not seem to match the gun. I understood only the early 1900 models have a side plate that has its upper, left hand corner (closest to the muzzle end..) very sharp and squarish...around 1906 and later, the typical upper, left hand corner is filed with a radius...

Shouldn't this one have the more rounded, cornered side plate...?

(Self-edited 1-5-04 : After Tony S. posted the follow-up photos, I got the answer to my concern...firt photo appeared to show something that is not there...)

Regards,

Pete...
