Matching Waffenamts?

For a P08 and holster rig, how important is it for the Waffenamt markings on both pieces to match? Thanks!

I got a good answer from Legacy Collectables - one that I should have realized had my head not been erroneously misplaced lower on the torso. The Waffen should NEVER match as the weapons inspectors were different from the holster inspectors and they wouldn’t have even been at the same location. Duh! I feel stupid … but it’s part of learning.

All the waffen's will be slightly different anyway, as stamps.

The magazine I would expect to be the same, but it is not always.
