I've an old A-Z someone gave me, interesting to checking out changes
to streets and whether my memory is right, but I've also recently
looked at the tube map in it, different in the way some lines are
drawn but also with some differences in content.
I recognised the old South Acton spur, and Trafalgar Square, and
what is now the Heathrow section of the Picadilly Line then stopped
at Hounslow West. Some other bits were less familiar, and as the map
is only black-and-white, its not clear whether they were all tube
lines. I think I remember the Bakerloo Line doubling with BR as far
as Watford Junction, but did the Met through Amersham continue as
far as Aylesbury? Another interesting bit is between Old Street and
Finsbury Park, with stations shown at Essex Road, Highbury and
Islington and Drayton Park.
Anybody have more info on these? And as the A-Z does not have a date
of publication, could anyone make a rough stab

Probably Pre 1958

Indeed, as South Acton closed about 1959.

If the map has White City on the Central Line (as opposed to Wood Lane) then
it's post-1947. If Tooting Bec is no longer called Trinity Road, then it's
post-1950.
