No, they would fade to a brownish, darker color.

Someone who knows ww1 mags and has access to some, plus some ww2 blued mags

But i would say they were blued at some point, rusting, needed refurbishment, etc. Although I am sure they were considered an expendable item, thus would have been replaced and not reblued, but who can say?
