Those two magazines are not "fully metal", they also have wood bases. The "bases" that folks are referring to are the wooden finger pulls at the bottom of the magazine. The numbering of the magazines in the pouch is a bit unusual. They are numbered in the early style along the long axis of the base, but I have not seen any that were numbered off-center like these. It would be nice to see close up clear photos of the numbers...it appears that there may be a letter suffix or acceptance mark below the numbers. Sorry to keep asking for photos but that is the only way to determine what these articles are. Thanks.
