Charlie,
* Welcome to the Forum.
* Mauser Military, Type II mag is correct for your 1939, S/42 P.08. This is a blued, folded & crimped, sheet metal body mag with a coiled spring and a single side pinned Aluminum base plug. No codes/marking will be on the body.
* The base will be marked with both the number and suffix letter matching to the pistol. The reserve mag will have a "+" symbol added. Both will be accepted by Waffen Inspector "sE/63".
* BTW, what is the S/N of your example? "n", "o" or "?" suffix block. Not very many of these were assembled in January, 1939 while Mauser was using up the last of the S/42 marked toggles.
* Have any pictures of your new acquisition you can share?
Enjoy,
Bob
