I have no experience in fire arms,so please if someone can date this MP40 magazine?Also,is't a certain model or are they all the same?

These are not possible to date.

They are variants to be found in the types of pressings, but they all serve the same purpose and fit the same weapon.

You can look up the WaA marks.

Cheers, Ade.

Detachable box magazine is the proper term. Though it's usually just called a magazine. More details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magazine_(firearms)
