Yes, that's what I said above; comparing the "hurry-up" rifles of '17-'18 to the almost lavish prewar guns will show the difference. But it's nothing like the crude "last ditch" WWII rifles to which you refer.
Mostly, a late war Mauser from one of the military arsenals like Spandau is just ugly in terms of fit and finish.
