These blue extruded FXO magazines actually came out in 1941 with the byf lugers.

So, I think that an unmarked FXO would have been a reasonable replacement.
wow, thanks again sir

related to all the experience you and the other old members of this forum have: is an impossible mission to try to look for the original serial number magazine matching with the pistol?
From 1 to 10 (1 easy - 10 impossible) how could it be difficult to find it among luger owners?
