Well, no, I think you read correctly on the first read. It's a 1941 wartime production, so chambered for the wartime load, I would presume. I didn't find any indication of it being re-barrelled or otherwise.... Wow, I misread the intent of your original post OP.
As long as a Mauser is chambered for the modern 7.92x57 cartridge, the lock design and metallurgy will handle any ammo that was ever factory produced...
