I haven't used my plastic snap on combs in years but my Wahl SS 0 comb broke and I have to use the plastic but can't remeber if it is the #40 blade that goes under the Laube or Oster plastic snap ons.

NOOOOO! Not #40
A #30 or a #15. I use a #30 currently. A #40 with Wahl will chip immediately. Plastic combs can take a #40 however The Wahls are so much better and never ping off leaving you with a shaved spot like plastics have done.
Added comment. Today I had a time getting two Wahls that were stuck together, apart. I need to put them back in their slots and not toss them in the cabinet. They were the kelly green and the lavender ones; blades stuck together.

A 40 is OK with a plastic, but never a metal, as the metal combs are known to break teeth. A 30 will give you a better finish, though, because the spacing of the teeth feeds the hair into the cutter better.

According to Melissa Verplank
On her videos she prefers to use a 40 on the plastic ones, but a 30 on the metal ones. She says that if you use a 40 on the metals ones it will break the teeth. However, unless you are using the new Laube plastic combs I would be careful using a 40 under a plastic comb because it could come off. The new Laube plastic combs have the side rails like the Wahl SS ones.

When I first got the SS combs I put the 40 under it and went throgh 3 40 blade instantly as it ripped the teeth off . I did have the occassion when the plastic s/o popped off and made a racing stripe which is why I switched to the Wahl SS. Cood I have tons of 30's and that's what I use for the metal so it will be easier to just switch combs without switching blades
