I suppose it could be but they produced this type of nut after the war, no? I see so few of these that are not obvious fakes as I said, and I don't have the proper reference material to date this one.
The WW2 action mentioned was just an example to why I think we should not repair stuff that we did not break. Still if it is a postwar piece, which it may be, there could be a reason behind the damage. Plus, as has been said, the methods we possess to repair would not give a result that could match the original.
