Herb, I can't answer your question directly. The Germans were experimenting with the metal grips in the late months of the war. Evidentially, they were less expensive and more durable than the plastic grips. Most French P.38s have the metal form for grips and are of various color, mostly gray.

H.P., Waffenamt translated means Waffen = Weapon and Amt = Office. So Waffenamt = Weapons Office. This term is often misspelled, Thanks!!
