I guess I am not that surprised. My father was in Cypruss during the early 1970's and more than one allied military was still using Lugers and MP40's, the Greeks used the MP40's and I believe the Finns were still using the P08's.
I know in Iraq, especially in the first Gulf War several K98's turned up and after the second Gulf war crates of 8mm Kurz and a few MP44's were found.
