If you zoom all the way in, it'll show you the sheet number and year on 
the right hand side :)

The scottish maps are a mix of re-projected popular edition (1920s and 
1930s), updated popular edition (late 1940s), and 7th edition (1955+)

The english and welsh ones were all new popular edition (or their war 
office friends) from the mid 1940s. We've replaced a few with their 7th 
edition equivalents, and we expect to do a few more in the near future. 
Then we just have to get 7th edition maps for everywhere, which ought to 
be possible in a few years time (they didn't finish publishing all of the 
7th edition until 1961)
