This example was made a year earlier, ion 1916. Also it is in better external condition than your 1st example.
The wooden base mag is an apparent "forced" match. They didn't originally stamp the magazine bases using 2 different dies, in separate applications which helps explain why the last two numbers are off center. Would not pay extra for this supposedly "matching" magazine
