Interesting,
This pistol has serial number 4040b, a very late 1937 serial.
I have pistol 150b. On my pistol the S/42 die is slightly different and it shows traces of wear/damage. On your pistol, they used a different die.
This seems to indicate that the S/42 die was replaced somewhere between the 150b and 4040b serial numbers. Nice.
About the magazines: Nobody actually bothered to keep the right magazines with the guns. Having loaded and functional magazines at hand was more important.
