Black plastic mag bases

Frank,
I'm sure you are correct. I used Aaron's Standard Catalog of Lugers for reference. I know that there are many mistakes in it.
Were the black plastic bottom mag and black plastic grips issued at the same time, or did one show up before the other?
I'm sure the confusion is from people changing there original wood grips and aluminum bottomed mags to plastic, to make a "BW".

Mike, it's my understanding that the grips and bottoms were authorized in July 1941.
