Default Transition from wood base to aluminum base mags?

Can anyone tell me what year the transition started from a wooden base to the magazine to aluminium. I have 1936 dated S/42 which came with both a very nice nickel wood base magazine and an fxo aluminium. Is the wood base appropriate?

Also, were these guns issued with a holster of similar date or was it common for them to be matched with older examples. I have one dated 1911 with later Weimar alterations. Many thanks
