CAP:
If you were to find the correct magazine with the correct suffix, that would be fine because you now have the correct original magazine. The exact one. Not a similar part.
Now regarding calling replacing parts with correctly numbered parts, that is a bit different, at least IMHO. I guess if everything is correct then it is sort of OK, but rarely will the finish match up perfectly, or like Klaus mentioned the font may differ a bit, etc.
I guess from a buyer's perspective, I'd want to know before I laid my money down. Imagine that instead of looking at a $1500 Luger we were talking about a $500,000 vintage sports car. It darned well does make a difference if non-original OEM parts were gathered up and placed on a damaged auto that was then sold at top dollar.
Just my $.02.
