Newbie question about magazines, wood VS. Aluminum

Tell me the exact serial number and letter suffix of your 1940-42 Luger and I will tell you exactly what type of magazine was issued with your Luger. Good Luck.

The letter suffix located under the barrel is a cursive letter "a" with serial number 5462. 62 is stamped on all parts. The date stamped on the barrel is "1940" and there is a "42" on the cocking lever.

Basically, I did a search and found a gentleman selling a luger with mis-matched magazine that had 5462.

Since my magazine didn't match anyways (the rest does) we did a straight up trade.
now my wood-bottomed magazine number (5462) matches the rest of the gun.

I gather this is a Mauser-made luger from 1940 but is this magazine correct?
