The "S/42" was a concealment code for Mauser manufactured products, and used on armorer's replacement magazines and parts.

The SE/63 was an inspection acceptance mark indicating that a government inspector confirmed that the item met contract specifications and requirements at the time the government acquired it from Mauser.

A particularly correct armorer would have the dies and take the time to number the replacement magazine to the firearm. Many did not.
