Variations of 42 code lugers

There was an overlap of two magazine types in early 1940 and both would be correct. One was stamped E/655 like yours. The other was stamped E/37 and 122 on the body and was the newer type. The bottom was center pinned.

Many thanks Tom for your information !

In fact I didn't realise

that the hole on side of bottom was for the pinning.....

Would be fine if someone having a 42 in the same range of s/n, could tell me he has the same type of magazine
