Ty,

They are Haenel magazines, whose code was 122 in 1940. Haenel's code became fxo in 1941. This was stamped on the body. The magazines also had a ziz zag spring.

When Mauser switched from their own magazines to Haenel's in 1940, the magazines displayed Haenel's inspector on the body. Early Haenel code 122 Eagle37 magazines sometimes had Eagle 37 on the base but this was sporadic and ended early in 1940.
