David,

Welcome to the Forum. And welcome to the lack of absolute certainty when it comes to collecting P.08s.

As previously mentioned, pictures are important. Good pictures are critical in order to make definitive statements.

So, let's jump in.

First, I am not totally sure that the m-suffix magazine is SE63. The photo lacks definition but it may be a SE83 made late in 1938. Only close examination or a really good photo can tell which it is. The SE83 inspector was around for about a year. Inspector 63 with various cartouches was around from 1935 to 1939.

The t-suffix magazine is definitely a S63, in fact, the large number variation. This magazine was shipped with a 1939 code 42 pistol in approximately May 1939.

Hope this helps.

John
