My 1st P08 byf '41. First Post

I picked this '41 up at a local show a week or so ago.
I have read a lot here on the site the past few days and have a few questions:

- the O block is too early for bakelite grips and mag
correct?
- my + mag matches the gun but has a 122 e/37 stamp
w/o PO8. Is that "normal" and does it look original? It is
a blued mag body. The FXO mag does not have a
serial#. Replacement mag?

- the grips look original to me, but I would appreciate
other opinions. Type 4?

Where any of the 41's with black grips issued with aluminum mags? I've read where the black grips started around the O suffix but when did the black mags come into production?

All the parts match, but it does have some signs of wear in various spots.
