An aluminum based magazine with the E/63 inspector mark would be correct for your Luger. The serial number includes the "v" suffix letter sn "185v" if I read it correctly.

A 1939 Mauser Luger is too late for a wooden based magazine, and too early for a plastic based magazine. (I see David also just posted this...)

Your magazine looks like it could be a plated milled FXO E/37 magazine made by Haenel Schmeisser.
