When Germany took over the FN factory they had found some 9mm Kurz pistols and completed about 3,200 of them, proofed them and they were issued. Afaik the early gun had WaA613.

Since handguns with WaA were usually issued to enlisted men and officers had to buy their own guns, I believe a conversion to be faked.

There is a very interesting website about Wehrmacht handguns by an Austrian collector but it is in German.
