Font appears wrong; base looks filed/ground. Look like a 'forced match'. The font matches the die sets I have gotten from American tool suppliers.

IMO it's not necessary to force match a magazine. The original users mixed them up so much that nowadays, a matched magazine is suspect...

I'd druther have a mismatched original than a filed/ground force match...
